In another bowl, we put four cups of water and a cup of liquid made with lentils. We can pour this liquid in a container to sprinkle it for our plants and thus provide them with oxide, which favors the growth of the roots of it.

How to make homemade fertilizer with hair or animal fur
Although it sounds a little weird we can make a good homemade fertilizer using hair and earth; the hair can be replaced by pet fur (the one that is removed by brushing or cutting). Both are good and become a great source of nitrogen for the earth.
The best we can do is to mix the hair with the soil of the garden or the land of Abano. Then we will place this mixture directly on the ground or close to the root of the plant. As I said, the hair is a great source of nitrogen and this, in the soil, becomes a slow release fertilizer. This means that little by little it is decomposing and nitrogen is slowly nourishing the earth. Therefore we will obtain plants with better development and very strong.
How to make fertilizer with leaves
Making this payment is easy, although it takes more time … but it’s worth it! We begin by raking all the leaves of fruit trees that we see or can find. We will try to make them clean or not too dirty. Must look for good leaves of fruit trees (using very few oaks) and that they are varied. The oak leaves should represent only 10% of the pile of leaves for fertilizer. This is because they contain more acid than others and this is not good for the fertilizer directed to vegetables.
Once we have the necessary leaves we put them aside, in the garden. Now we mix them all very well. Then proceed to grind the leaves (with a manual cutter), if it can be the same day we go to mow the lawn (if we have it). So it will be better because we can use remains of cut grass to make the homemade fertilizer, which will provide nitrogen to it.
The next step is to rake the already ground leaves. Then we look for a place to make the pile or container (where the ground drains well), if we have not done it already. If we can we will put a door where we can add things in an easy way. In addition, we will put a canvas or something to cover the pile, this way we will avoid that the wind takes part in the content.
To start the fertilizer we will add the leaves in the pile and the remains of grass or other materials rich in nitrogen. We can also put food remains in the pile, such as vegetable peels or coffee grounds. We must avoid leftovers of heavy bread, dairy or meat. Finally, we must make layers with these ingredients: first layers of leaves, then added with nitrogen, leaves, etc.
To keep a good fertilizer we have to keep the pile moist, neither dry nor waterlogged. If the days are drier we can sprinkle the pile with water. With the help of the hose, but avoiding puddles or the water is flooded. We must also avoid removing the content within the first few weeks. It will not be until the second or third week, which we can remove.
When we remove the fertilizer for the first time, the surface layer must be buried and the fertilizer inside must rise again; so that it remains moist and cool up and dry it underneath. To do this we will remove two or three times a week with enveloping movements. Then cover with a plastic sheet, so that the heat is inside.
After 4 to 9 months we can use the fertilizer, when we do this it should have a uniform dark brown color. We can combine it with the soil and use it to improve the garden and the garden.
