best organic plant fertiliser?

OllieB497 · 05-24-2021, 01:55 PM

I use Fish blood bones (Once a month), chicken pellet manure (once a month), liquid seaweed (once a week), grass clippings (whenever i have it), mulches (same as grass), strulch (rarely cba to buy it), and coffee grounds (once a month), fire ash but only 1-2 a year cause of the soil pH change
but I feel like I ain't getting enough NPK. any other suggestion?

You may dilute.
The urea is pretty strong stuff.

Test it out on a plant in your garden.
If you ever notice folks with dogs have very green spots in their yards or brown spots if the urine is too strong. It is a decent whitetail deer repellent also

I use Espoma brand fertilizer for many plants especially when young.
These ferts build your soil.
These fertilizers will charge your charcoal/perlite additives also.
U.K. should have similar.

Pisa is strong it’s like 40 nitrogen. It’s strong but bananas can pretty much take anything. They love it. I add so much fertiliser and it doesn’t bother them. But yeh I will probs do one part piss to 5 parts water. Thag sound good? Then I would use once every 2 weeks or is that too much? Then if flowering go heavy on the potassium.

I just pee in the garden, no diluting. Never had any issues.

Surely that’s too rich and causes root burn?

Root burn? Urine is too rich in m nutrients? Surely? I’ve seen urine burn other plants eg tomatoes

Bananas are very hardy plants that love lots of nutrients. They aren’t sissies. All other plants aren’t though. I found this out the hard way. One time we are walking through the garden... I am asked, “why is that broccoli plant dead?” (It was only a couple weeks old)

I picked up this snap on spray head on Amazon a few years back.
It comes in different colors.....I chose Bengal orange.🏈

It's a great way to safely diffuse organics in the garden and it seems garden ornaments love it too.

If you are really concerned about burn just drink a lot of water and dilute the urine before it comes out.

Bush, Miller lite, Michelob works for me and increases the quantity of P

Backyard Banana Joe · 06-05-2021, 05:02 PM

Wood ash is also a good one.

cincinnana · 06-05-2021, 07:11 PM

Explore organic garden tea mix's commonly found on the web.
I had said in a few posts before Espoma brand Organics are pretty awesome.
Have you graduated to the ground yet or are you still in containers??

And you may create your own char to amend your plants.....there is a thread on it and many videos to educate you.
