Creating this fertilizer is a straightforward process that requires minimal effort. Follow these steps to prepare a nutrient-rich solution for your cucumbers:
-
- Crush the Ingredients: Take the eggshells and bay leaves, then grind them into a fine powder using a blender, mortar and pestle, or a food processor. The finer the particles, the easier it will be for plants to absorb the nutrients.
- Mix with Warm Water: Pour 2 liters of warm water into a container and add the ground eggshells and bay leaves.
- Blend Thoroughly: Using a blender, mix the ingredients until well combined. This helps break down the compounds, making nutrients more accessible to the plants.
-
- Let It Steep: Allow the mixture to sit for 12 hours. This infusion period enables the beneficial components to dissolve into the water.
- Strain and Dilute: After 12 hours, strain the liquid to remove solid residues. Then, dilute the solution by adding enough water to make a total of 3 liters of fertilizer.
- Final Dilution for Application: Before watering your plants, take one glass (approximately 250ml) of the prepared fertilizer and mix it with 5 liters of water. This ensures the nutrients are delivered at the optimal concentration for plant uptake.
