I have recently harvested the last of my tomatoes and was wondering if i can use the left over plant material to make a liquid feed for next year? i was going to stick the cuttings in a large bin and fill it with water. Will this work?Can i make my own liquid plant food using finished tomato plants?
Bad idea.
Tomatoes are one garden plant that should not be composted. Too much risk in spreading diseases. There's nothing in the plant itself that will be helpful for making a liquid fertilizer for your plants. It has a great potential for doing a lot more harm than good.
If you want to make your own liquid fertilizer, use comfrey leaves or stinging nettle. Be prepared; it's gonna stink like something died. It's really not something you want to make now and store all winter to use next year. Make it next year and use it next year.Can i make my own liquid plant food using finished tomato plants?
No, but if they aren't diseased you can compost them and make compost tea to use as liquid fertilizer.
