From yesterday. Applied the hydrated alfalfa pellets, cold mulching natural fertilizer, to several transplanted starters & seedlings. I have only used 1/4 of bucket -> it fed 30 transplanted starters & 60 seedlings.

Today, I'm feeding our fruit trees/shrubs/more food/flower plants & putting some where I had recently broadcast sowed more alternative cover crop seeds.

This is the consistency texture that you want, when hydrating #alfalfa feed pellets to create natural mulching fertilizer for your gardens/orchards.

Nitrified Human #Urine as a #Sustainable and Socially Acceptable #Fertilizer: An Analysis of Consumer Acceptance in #MsunduziSouthAfrica

2019, Benjamin Wilde, et al.

Abstract

"#Sustainable #SmallholderFarming is contingent on fertilizer access. Soils across Africa are typically nutrient deficient, a condition exacerbated by long-term #NutrientMining. #NitrifiedUrineFertilizer is a nutrient-rich and hygienically safe solution derived from human urine. It has the potential to provide a sustainable source of soil nutrients to low and middle-income countries struggling with food insecurity challenges. This study presents findings of a survey that assessed public acceptance within Msunduzi, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa towards the use of nitrified urine fertilizer. Results indicate that in general attitudes were much more positive towards the use of nitrified urine fertilizer than raw urine as a soil amendment. Residents living within rural zones of the municipality (78.5%), as opposed to urban (65.7%) and peri-urban (65.2%), and younger individuals within the sampled population were found to be the most receptive to the use of nitrified urine fertilizer. Our findings also underscore the complex set of factors that shape attitudes towards a topic such as the use of human waste as a fertilizer, which are crucial in shaping the legitimacy of an emerging #technology such as urine nitrification."

Producing #EnvironmentallyFriendly #Fertilizer from Human #Urine
Apr 30, 2020

"Dr. Adey Desta, an Ethiopian Scientist has successfully produced an environmental friendly fertilizer from human urine. Unlike the synthetic fertilizers in the market, Dr. Adey's research has produced a cheap, water insoluble fertilizer that guards against leaching which in turn contaminates Rivers, Lakes, underneath water table etc. during rainy seasons."

Some of our homemade #compost #soil. It's like gold to us gardeners 💚👩‍🌾
Prepping some large pots with it, to get ready for transplanting of my tomato plants in 2-3 weeks. I put a fish head & banana peel at bottom of each large pot.

Making some weed tea with #comfrey leaves. One of 6 buckets of natural #fertilizer tea.
Some will be used as topical plant spray & rest used as soil drench at plant bases. I put the spent leaves at bases as part of mulch after.
