Procedure to make organic liquid fertilizer :-
First of all take a dozen of the ripened bananas and make small pieces of it without removing the peel, because peels of banana also contain a decent amount of nutrients in it.
Now you have to make the pest of these banana slices. For this put the banana slices into the mixer with some water to make it free flowing liquid. Then remove this liquid in the fresh bottle. Ensure that the bottle is properly washed to remove unwanted bacterias in it.
Now take the yoghurt and the jaggery in the bowl. Mix the yoghurt and jaggery thoroughly to make liquid pest of it.
Add this pest of the yoghurt and jaggery that you have made to the bottle containing banana pest in it.
Now add the decent amount of water in the bottle so that it will become free flowing liquid. This will help in rapid decomposition.
Cover the head of the bottle with a clean cotton cloth and make it fit using the rubber band on it. Do not put the cap of the bottle on it now because this will create anaerobic environment in the bottle.
Note:- Prefer taking a glass bottle having a five litre capacity. Using the plastic bottles will be detrimental bacteria. The decomposition will increase the heat of the bottle so it is better to use the glass bottle.
Now put this glass bottle for 1 to 2 weeks in a warm and shady place.
In this two week span you have to daily open up the bottle and shake it by placing a cap on the bottle on it. This will help in proper mixing and growth of the bacteria in the solution.
After a week the maximum portion of the paste gets converted into a liquid. It means that it is well decomposed.
Now you have to do that, take the liquid portion out of the bottle and keep in another well cleaned bottle. You will notice that the smell of the liquid is a little bit similar to wine.
This mixer is ready for spraying on the plants.
Now keep the remaining mixture in the same bottle that contains the banana pest with yoghurt and jaggery. Now in this bottle you have to add again the mixer of jaggery and yoghurt again. This will continue the process of decomposing the remaining mixture.
How to use it :- Take 10 to 15 ml of the liquid that you have made and mix it in 1 litre of water. Then spray this solution on the leaves of the plants. You can repeat the spraying after 8 to 10 days.
I hope you like the making of homemade liquid fertilizer for your plants.
