DIY Garden Remedies

Grow Invest Ferment

  • Growing food is like printing your own money.
  • Fermenting the harvest is like super compounding interest!

DIY Garden Remedies

  • FOR THE GARDEN
  • Leave 50 gr of onion skins and garlic skins (can also add the green leaves, if you have them) to soak for 24 hours in 1 litre of cold water.
  • After one day, heat for 20 minutes, without reaching boiling point.
  • Once the decoction has cooled it needs to be filtered and can then be used.
  • Good against downy mildew: use on tomatoes and potato
  •  Infusion
  •  Here is a same-day first-aid remedy: put 40 gr of onion or chopped cloves of garlic in 5 litres of boiling water and leave to soak for 4-5 hours.
  • Spray the infusion – without diluting it – on plants and soil, it is great for avoiding fungal diseases and protecting your plants from mites.
  • FOR THE GARDEN BUGS …. Macerated extract
  • Finely chop 500 gr of garlic and onion (you can use a mixture of both or just one), put it in 10 litres of water and leave to ferment.
  • Once the mixture has stopped fermenting – when foam no longer forms – dilute in more water, in a ratio of 1 to 10, and spray on the soil in your garden or on the plants.
  • If you leave the mixture to macerate in the sunshine it will ferment faster.
  • The Fermenting Fairies + the Garden Gnomes
  • Many plants thrive in more acidic soil environments.
  • Grind up or coarsely chop a Kombucha SCOBY and add it to your soil mix.
  • Adding extra SCOBYs to the compost pile is a great way to return the culture to the earth.
  • We toss them in our worm bin and boy, do we have a lot of happy worms! + worm tea for the garden gnomes.
