The benefits of Peruvian Seabird Guano tea
Peruvian Seabird Guano is an excellent all natural organic fertilizer. It’s high levels of Nitrogen and Phosphorus along with its micronutrient content make it one of the best natural fertilizer available. In its pelletized form it is a great product to broadcast on the ground around your plant and let natural rainfall or watering gradually release it’s nutrients into the soil. Seabird Guano tea is an great way to get lower doses of the material into the soil and absorbed directly into the plants roots very quickly. It can also be used as a foliar fertilizer that can be sprayed on the plant and be absorbed through the plants leaves. Seabird Guano tea is very good at quickly correcting nutrient deficiencies that are noticed during the plants growth cycle.
To make Seabird Guano tea mix 1-2 tablespoons of pelletized Peruvian Seabird Guano into 1 gallon of water, shake it up and let it sit for at least 12 hours before use. It can then be poured directly around the plants roots for an immediate boost of nutrients to the plant. This can be used weekly or every other week. It is also very beneficial to the microorganisms that live in the soil and help with the absorption of nutrients to the plant roots. The process can be repeated with the undissolved guano that settles in the bottom for a slightly weaker version of the tea. This weaker material works very well for a foliar spray that can be absorbed directly through the plants leaves.
Please remember that more is not always better with this or any fertilizer. Too much of a good thing can easily burn a plants roots and kill the plant so don’t over use it or increase the amount of guano per gallon past 3 tablespoons per gallon to avoid harming the plant,
