Field activity : Make liquid fertilizer


Method : Participatory making of liquid fertilizer

Tools : Materials, tools, and containers as described below

References : PC Book MOD 4 – Healthy Soil

Objective : Participants learn how to make liquid fertilizer

In the “Compost” section of the PC Book MOD 4 – Healthy Soil there are instructions
on how to make liquid fertilizer.

It takes 2 weeks for liquid fertilizer to be ready to use so the facilitator should prepare
a batch of liquid fertilizer at least 2 weeks before the course so that participants can
experiment using it.

Preparation

Photocopy enough of the “Liquid fertilizer” sections of the PC Book MOD 4 – Healthy
Soil so that each participant can take one set of references home.

Collect the materials and tools needed for:


  • Preparing the liquid fertilizer container with a lid (drum, plastic container, etc).

  • Creating the liquid fertilizer.


Create the liquid fertilizer with the participants.

See the “Compost” section of the PC Book MOD 4 – Healthy Soil for detailed
instructions on making liquid fertilizer, including:


  • Materials needed.

  • How to make it step by step.

  • How to maintain it.

  • How to use it.
