Can you steep grass clippings and leaves in water for a few days then just water the plants with that??

Shiiiit what if you peed in it LOL

Would the nutrients transfer to the water in a few days? a week? Never?

I already got a small little compost pile going for next season but was thinking of a quicker solution

I don’t think so … these materials has high C:N rates … Too slow decomposition to use as liquid fertilizer after few days in water …

That’s a process I got from Josh of Dragonfly Earth Medicine. He said the maximum time you need is a week to leech the calcium out. Said to look for an oily sheen on the surface of the plant juice. I’ve done 4 days batches and 2 week ones :slight_smile: they stink. Makes good fertilizer though!

The plant juice uses anaerobic decomposition, that’s why it happens so fast. Also why it stinks so bad :smiley:

It’s just best to use creek water or pond water, instead of something chlorinated.
