Easy liquid fertilizer for plants

I put all of my vegetable peels, fruit peels, skins of onion garlic, rice wash water, dal wash water,fish wash water, all in a bucket. Strain the liquid and pour to garden or spray. It is found that plants are growing very fast.
All strained vegetable goes to compost.
If the water is very thick add water to dilute.
In my case, if the water is more , I keep it for next day, it starts fermenting, so add more water to the liquid and pour to plants, Fermented water sometimes not good for plants, so dilution is necessary to remove the sourness  of the liquid if it for days
On the 3rd day the liquid have a really fermented smell, so add 1 cup of this to 10 kg or more water to dilute it and spray to plants
Use it weekly or after a 3 days gap, or use it with very diluted way for daily purpose, if it is fermented

Using fresh liquids daily has no problem for plants
Plants grow very fast by this method, and they get all the required nutrition.

Fermented fruit juice


This is good for fruit and flower time to increase yield of  fruits, and flowers
1kg fruit and 1kg molasses cut and mix and cover for 7 days. Filter and again keep for 7 days. and use 1teaspoon per 1 litre water at the time of flowering and fruiting starts
it contain the hormones for that time
Use papaya, banana, pumpkin mix or use any one for this purpose

Pesticide for garden

4 cup oil,  1cup soap solution take in a bottle and shake well. and get a yellow liquid, if oil is more add little more soap solution and shake well. Use this 1teaspoon per 1litre water shake and spray to plants in early morning or evening. before spraying this spray some water on plants. It removes most of pests and fungal problems in the garden
I used all of my old oils in stock with little neem oil for this purpose adding some dettol (to this also good for removing pests) and have done the above method. For me 4 cup oil with 11/2 cup soap soution needed for to make the beautiful yellow solution
so 3:1 ratio is better than 4:1 ratio
for neem oil emulsion do like this with 3 part neem oil and 1 part soap solution and use as above it is more effective
spray weekly to remove all pests and fungus

Fermented plant juice

1kg grass or good leaves  or buds of leaves have growth hormones
cut this add 1kg black molasses or jaggery powder or thick liquid mix well cover and keep for 7 days (to 1month ) filter and keep the liquid again for 7 days
Use 1teaspoon liquid to 1litre water and spray on plants
good for good growth of plants
Use watery veg banana stem or bamboo shoots for this purpose use any one
Use leaves, grass, weeds, with buds, and tender fruits or  veg and do the same method for better growth of leaves, buds and fruits they contain the growth hormone
