Summary

This video provides a simple and effective method for creating organic fertilizer using rice washing water. The process involves fermenting the rice water with microorganisms like EM4 and sugar to enhance its nutritional content. The resulting fertilizer can be used for various plants, both for watering and as a foliar spray. The video covers the preparation, fermentation, and application process in detail, emphasizing the benefits of using this natural fertilizer to promote healthy plant growth. It’s an easy-to-follow guide for anyone looking to make eco-friendly and cost-effective fertilizer at home.

Takeaways

• 😀 Collect rice washing water (Leri) from the first wash, ideally within a week.
• 😀 Ferment the rice washing water to enhance nutrient absorption for plants.
• 😀 Use a 1.5-liter bottle for fermentation, leaving space for gas buildup.
• 😀 Add a bacterial agent like EM4 or local microorganisms to kickstart fermentation.
• 😀 Include sugar (brown sugar, molasses, or white sugar) to feed the bacteria.
• 😀 Ferment for about 2 weeks, checking daily to release gas by loosening the bottle cap.
• 😀 Consider using an airlock system or balloon to safely manage the fermentation gas.
• 😀 After fermentation, dilute the fertilizer for use: 1L of mixture to 50-200 parts water for watering.
• 😀 For spraying, dilute 1L of the mixture to 20-40 parts water, applied in the morning or evening.
• 😀 This fertilizer works well for all types of plants, from vegetables to flowers, in all growth phases.
• 😀 The fertilizer is organic, cost-effective, and promotes healthy plant growth and flowering.

Q & A

What is the main topic of the video?

The video focuses on the simple process of making organic fertilizer using rice washing water (known as 'air Leri') and fermenting it for improved plant nutrition.

Why is it recommended to use the first wash of rice water for making fertilizer?

The first wash of rice water contains more concentrated nutrients like calcium, potassium, nitrogen, and sodium, which are beneficial for plants, compared to the second wash.

How long should rice washing water be stored before using it for fermentation?

Rice washing water should be stored for about 5 to 6 days, with a maximum of one week, before beginning the fermentation process.

Why is fermentation important for rice washing water when making fertilizer?

Fermentation makes the nutrients in the rice washing water more accessible to plants by breaking down the compounds, allowing faster and more efficient absorption.

What is the purpose of adding EM4 or similar microorganisms during the fermentation process?

EM4 contains dormant beneficial bacteria that help activate and multiply during fermentation, promoting better breakdown of nutrients and improving fertilizer effectiveness.

What is the role of sugar in the fermentation process?

Sugar acts as food for the microorganisms (like EM4), helping them to become active and multiply, which enhances the fermentation process.

What is the difference between using an airlock and a balloon in the fermentation setup?

An airlock allows gas to escape during fermentation without letting air in, ensuring anaerobic conditions. A balloon can also be used, as it inflates from the escaping gas, but requires manual attention to release gas to prevent bursting.

How long should the fermentation process last?

The fermentation process should last for about 2 weeks, with gas production being most intense in the first week. After 2 weeks, the gas production significantly decreases, indicating the fertilizer is ready for use.

What is the recommended application method for the fermented fertilizer?

The fertilizer can be applied through watering (1:50 to 1:200 dilution ratio) or spraying (1:20 to 1:40 dilution ratio), depending on the plant's needs, once every week.

Can this organic fertilizer be used for all types of plants?

Yes, this fertilizer is safe and effective for all types of plants, including ornamental plants, fruits, vegetables, and flowers, in both their vegetative and generative stages.
