Ideally spray before a rainstorm if possible (or during like I did!! :-( ) I watered my paddocks with this mix at a ratio of 10 to 1 I used approx 7 lires (70 of mixed) for an acre, it promotes grass growth and because the soil is richer the weeds don't seem to like it (I believe they prefer poorer conditions) Once you have sprayed your grass keep livestock off of it for 10 days to allow the grass to grow and any nasties to dissipate. I watered my Kumara with this and won the local veg competition with a 1.6kg specimen (See Photo!), it also did wonders for my citrus trees, which were spindly and lacking and now are big and bushy.Ī few people have commented about decomposition of seed heads, I generally get my weeds before they have gone to seed, but if you think that the seed heads may still be viable then I advise you to burn the weeds after you remove them from the soup This process releases all the good nutrients into the water so you get the following (amongst others) I change out the weeds about every 4-6 months, the old ones are almost completely decomposed and can now go into the compost. Top the barrel back up when you have finished for the day and it will be back to full strength in a few days Water this soup down 15 to 1 and then water on your plants about once a week After 2 weeks you end up with this slightly smelly tea (or soup), the smell isn't too bad - you wouldn't want it in your house but it is fine a few yards away!
