Using lombricompost as a liquid fertilizer is a natural and effective method to feed your plants by providing them with essential nutrients. Here’s how to make this ultra-efficient organic fertilizer:
Materials and equipment required:

Steps to follow:
- Prepare your firecomposter by adding a layer of shredded cardboard to the bottom for good ventilation.
- Add a significant amount of earthworm to start the composting process.
- Place your kitchen waste over the worms so they can feed and produce compost.
- Make sure to maintain constant humidity by adding non-chlorinated water as needed.
- Mix compost regularly to promote decomposition and aerate the mixture.
- Once the logbricompost is ready (earthy and wet), filter it to obtain a concentrated liquid fertilizer.
Use of lumbricompost liquid fertilizer:
Once your liquid fertilizer is ready, dilute it in water (about 1 volume of fertilizer for 10 volumes of water) before using it to water your plants. Make sure you don’t keep it too long, preferably use it within 2 weeks of preparation to keep all the nutrients.
