Ivy manure - Recipe, uses ?
Ivy manure is an excellent natural insecticide and insect repellent. It repels aphids, whiteflies and mites, and eliminates them if necessary.
To prepare your ivy purin, you need 1 kilo of leaves per 10 liters of water. Preferably use rainwater. Chop the leaves before adding them to the water. Place your mixture in the shade and stir regularly (every day or two). When the mixture stops bubbling, your liquid manure is ready and fermentation is complete. Filter the mixture and store in a cool, dark place.
When you want to use it, dilute it to 5% and add a teaspoon of black soap. Spray ivy slurry on and under leaves, every two weeks as a preventive measure, every five days as a curative measure.
