Making Lawn Clipping Tea




Lawn clipping tea is a simple and fabulous plant tonic. It is easy to make and apply.


Steps
  1. Place the bucket of cut grass into the netting bag.
  2. Hang the bag in a bucket of water. Make sure that the bucket is sitting somewhere steady and cannot be knocked by animals or people.
  3. Leave it there for one to two weeks. The nutrients will leach from the cut grass into the water.
  4. Use. Pour small amounts over your garden and pot plants. It acts as a tonic and revitalizes plants, as well as strengthening them. It will help them to grow stronger and gain disease-resistant qualities.
Precautions
  • This preparation does get a little smelly. Just block your nose and use it!

Materials
  • One bucket of freshly cut grass
  • Netting bag (the ones used for onions, oranges etc.), large
  • Bucket or other large container
