DIY plant based fertilizer for seedlings: fights algae and fungus, encourages growth!

Learn to make your own seed starting fertilizer! We steep a tea made from chamomile, stinging nettle, cinnamon (and optional: manure) that's designed to fight algae and fungal disease and provide nitrogen for growth. We also discuss how this may affect mycorrhizae and how we adjust for that before planting out. A couple things I forgot to mention in the video: 1) Apply weekly (dilution of 1:10) 2) Start using once seedlings exhibit their first set of true leaves 3) Store leftover fertilizer in a closed container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks You can adjust the quantity as needed! We started making our own fertilizer after learning about the PFAS contamination that was happening in liquids stored in fluorinated HDPE containers (you can find more info on that here: https://cen.acs.org/environment/persi...) INGREDIENTS: 1.25 gallons hot water 2 cups stinging nettle, dried 1 cup chamomile flowers, dried 2-3 sticks cinnamon optional: handful of sheep or bunny manure (about 1/2 to 1 cup) Steep overnight. Dilute at 1:10 for young seedlings, 1:5 for more established seedlings. Store leftover in the fridge in a glass container for up to 2 weeks. Sprayer: https://shop.epicgardening.com/produc...
