Make Your Own Organic Fertilizer
Make Your Own Organic Fertilizer – My Secret Recipe!!!
Farming is how I make a living. It is my income as well as the means in which I feed my family. After years of farming livestock as well as vegetables, I have picked up many tricks of the trade. One of my favourite farming “hacks” is my recipe for organic fertilizer, using goat urine which I collect from my goats.
This fertilizer is not only non-toxic, but it is an extremely cost-effective way of growing healthy crops using materials from nature. The fertilizer is made to be in a liquid form, so it can easily be administered when watering your plants.
Make your own fertilizer by following these steps :
Collect goat urine from goats.
Add sugar or carbohydrates. For example, 5% sugar compared to the amount of urine you have collected.
Allow the mixture to breath and be exposed to oxygen.
The mixture then needs to go through a fermentation process. I use the Aerobic Fermentation process, where the mixture requires oxygen to ferment. The bacteria that functions in this type of fermentation prefer to use Oxygen, since it’s more energy efficient.
After fermentation has been completed, mix your solution with 5 parts of water.
Apply it directly on to your plants or wet the soil.
Did you know? The ammonia from the urine, when mixed with sugar or carbohydrates, becomes a protein that is beneficial for plants and livestock like fish.
This organic liquid fertilizer makes a wonderful difference in the crop results because it feeds the plants the food that helps them grow strong and healthy.
Good luck,,,!!!

This is really interesting to me. But I have to ask... how do you collect the urine from your goats!?
you have to create a model stage cage. you can directly hold it from the bottom.
it's like a dog crate for goats?
I do not understand what you mean..
I don't know what is a "model stage cage" and was trying to understand. Excuse me for being unclear!
Very interesting. that is good for us and use full. so, how to apply that to the plant. would you explain to me please?
you should give the liquid organic fertilizer to your plants only once a week, mixing half a liter of liquid fertilizer from every 10 liters of water. meaning 5% of each water will be in use. good luck..
I've heard of manure, but never urine, to make fertilizer. Kudos to you for devising such a natural and eco-friendly method of feeding your plants! 😊

This was a well-crafted article, full of valuable information for anyone interested in using organic fertilizers. I was wondering: You said the liquid fertilizer is also good for fish stocks. How is this so? Because it doesn't run off and foul nearby bodies of water? Or did you mean for fish farming? Thanks again for the solid read. :)
