Liquid Feed Compost

Liquid feed can be made in a few different ways; here are the three simplest ways:

1 - Liquid Manure can be made buy simple suspending a hessian bag filled with horse manure over a large bucket of water. You do this buy straddling a strong stick over the bucket and tying the bag to the stick so that it is suspended in water. If you can lay your hands on kelp (seaweed) then you can shred it and use this in a hessian sack as well to make liquid feed for your vegetable garden

2 – Wormery juice is what we use and have had great success! I have seen people make their own wormery in a variety of ways, but we chose to invest in Can-O-Worms which is compact and easy to construct.

3 - Compost tea is made by steeping compost in water. The appeal of compost tea is that it presents nutrients to plants in an immediately available way. It can also be used as a foliar spray directly onto the leaves of your plants. Simply take a large bucket (5 litres) and half fill it with good compost from your own heap or from a mature layer in your wormery (once all the worms are replaced to a new layer). Fill the bucket to the rim and leave to stand for 2 or 3 days, stirring to aerate a couple of times a day.

Strain and then apply to the soil or leaves of your vegetables.
