Ivy manure - Recipe, uses?
Ivy manure is an excellent natural insecticide and insect repellent. It keeps aphids, whiteflies and mites at bay and eliminates them if necessary.
To prepare your ivy purin, you need 1 kilo of leaves per 10 litres 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 keep it out of the light and in a cool place.
When you want to use it, dilute it to 5 % and add a teaspoon of black soap. Spray the ivy manure on and under the leaves every fortnight as a preventive measure, and every five days as a curative measure.
