How to make your own fertilizer for growing flowers at home

There are abundant sources of fertilizer for growing flowers in household garbage, which can be collected everywhere in daily life. It is easy to process, and it is more comprehensive in nutrient supply and more durable than chemical fertilizers, tablet fertilizers and nutrient solutions purchased online. Moreover, homemade fertilizer for flowers is economical and affordable, and the fragrance of flowers will be stronger when organic fertilizer is applied to plants.

1) Homemade basal fertilizer

Rotten beans, moldy melon seeds, bad peanuts, rotten eggs, etc. discarded by households all contain relatively high levels of nitrogen fertilizers. Broken bones, freshwater fish bones, poultry manure, sheep dung balls, hoof horns, chicken feathers and other hairs all contain rich phosphorus fertilizers.

These discarded organic matter, after being piled up and fermented, can be used as base fertilizer for potted flowers. Use a sealed jar or pot for fermentation, and take the clear liquid after it is fully decomposed, dilute it with water and use it as topdressing.

2) Retting of liquid fertilizer

In daily life, we can collect the household waste from the kitchen and make our own flower fertilizer.

For example, rice washing water, fishy water, water for washing baby bottles, water for washing eggshells, as well as waste water and wood ash from raising goldfish, all contain nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.

Put these kitchen waste into plastic buckets or plastic bottles, add water and ferment them to make a good organic fertilizer liquid.

Boil pork bones, cattle and sheep bones in a pressure cooker for 1 hour, take out and dry them, break them into pieces with a hammer, and bury them around flower pots after fermentation to make good phosphorus fertilizer.

3) Method for making phosphate fertilizer

Pig bones, cattle and sheep bones can be steamed in a pressure cooker for about 1 hour, taken out and dried in the sun or oven, crushed with a hammer and fermented to make the best phosphate fertilizer. If these bones are burned directly in the fire and then crushed, they can also be used as phosphate fertilizer.

Although this method of making fertilizer yourself is simple, the loss of fertilizer is relatively large. If the amount of fertilizer used for home flower cultivation is not much, and bones are easy to find, this method of making fertilizer is also acceptable.
