Liquid tea made from leaves and grasses are simple and nutritious for your plants. All you need to do is fill a container or bucket full of grass or leaves (or both) and drown it in water. In about 4-6 weeks when the contents have turned into a brown sludge, your liquid tea will be ready to be strained and diluted.
To make straining easier you can bag the ingredients in a meshed bag or frost cloth. Another method is to use a plastic garden pot roughly the same size as a bucket, and place that in the bucket along with the contents. Then when the tea is ready you can just lift the pot and the drainage holes will do the work for you.
The equations are 1 part liquid tea, to 10 parts water. It can then be used in your garden as you would with any liquid fertilizer. And the best thing is that it’s convenient and literally free.
