Dutch term or phrase: plantengier/vloeibare groene mest
Vloeibare groene mest is het meest waardevol voor uw planten. U hebt ongeveer een kilo bladeren nodig die u een week lang in 10 liter water laat weken. Daarna kunt u het water zeven en de vloeibare gier op het blad vernevelen (verdund in een verhouding van 1: 20) of direct bij de plantenwortels gieten (verdund in een verhouding van 1: 4).

Liquid organic fertilizer is not a good choice because it could be animal(fish) based. See: www.cleanairgardening.com/tridpridliqo.html

disagree  Titia Meesters: dit kan ook synthetische mest zijn, er moet op zijn minst iets van 'organic' bij: liquid organic fertilizer
