Quick Permaculture Tip - How to make Jeevamrut

In this video, Manisha from Aanandaa Permaculture Farm describes how to make Jeevamrut/ Jeevamrit step by step, Jeevamrut is a microbial culture, whose formula was conceived by Shri Subhash Palekar ji, the founder of Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF). To make Jeevamrut/ Jeevmarit, you need: A 200 Litre drum 10 Kg Cow Dung 10kg Cow urine 2 Kg Jaggery 2 Kg besan or chick pea flour 2 kg good soil. Add the cow dung and cow urine to the drum and stir it with a bamboo stick. Then add the jaggery and chickpea flour. Stir further a few times. Mix in the good soil. Now, top up the drum with 190 litres of water, while continuously stirring the mixture. Then cover the drum with a wet gunny sack or a burlap. Leave it for 48 hours - while stirring it 2-3 times a day. After 48 hours, the mix would have fermented - which means the microbes have multiplies several times and are their maximum strength. Now, dilute it 10 x with water and add it to your irrigation water. You can also spray a 5-10% solution of filtered jeevamrut on your plants for added benefit!
