Home made liquid feed, how much to dilute?

Post by mariat »

About 3 years ago I started making liquid feed by filling an old plastic dustbin with water and dumping weeds in. It must be quite rich by now, but I'm not sure how much to dilute it by. Anyone got any idea?

as it is all variable (type of weeds, concentration per original volume etc), I think you are looking at making up a solution that looks like a very weak tea

Start with a 10/1 see if that looks like LLs weak tea,if not add same amount of water again that will give you 20/1 think between them to figures you should find the right consistency )t'

Thanks, I'll try your suggestions and see how it goes. Glad I asked, I was thinking about 5:1!
