The love shack only has a double bed, but we can add some makeshift beds for little travellers too.

It might read like we mean only the weeds seeds are put into a suitable container.

Here's the recipe:
Collect all the ...Hi Lisa,<br /><br />Here's the recipe:<br /><br />Collect all the weeds from the patch in which you want to sow with annuals or plant out with perennials. Weed seeds are fine to use as they won't go back into the soil. Put them into a suitable sized container/bucket/barrel. Fill with water and stir every second day or so for 2 weeks. Strain liquid into watering can at a ratio of 1 part weed tea concentrate to 20 parts water. Stir the can and apply liberally to patch.<br /><br />The idea is that the weeds contain various nutrients and minerals that are released by fermenting them in water for two weeks. It's in effect a cold steeped tea.<br /><br />Infected tomato trimmings are no good for this soil restorer. <br /><br />Only use healthy, vibrant plant matter, and remember, don't water onto delicate seedlings under direct sun as it will burn the plants.<br /><br />Hope this helps.Artist as Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000057566127487240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068486315338288419.post-66079510836526523412016-02-28T04:17:37.899+11:002016-02-28T04:17:37.899+11:00Weed tea-- how do you make this?

Can weeds with seeds go in? <br />What about tomatoe plant trimmings that have bugs on them or aphid infected plants? <br /><br />How long do the weeds need to soak for? <br /><br />Many thanks for your feedback Lisa Michellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068486315338288419.post-37764080472205650822016-02-26T21:51:10.843+11:002016-02-26T21:51:10.843+11:00So good to see your beautiful family made it back ...So good to see your beautiful family made it back home safely.
