Jadam Liquid Fertiliser (JLF) – this is the all natural and free fertiliser I use in my home garden. No more store bought fertiliser amendments are needed.
It is a technique of Korean Natural Farming. It is made by fermenting organic materials in water with naturally occurring microorganisms, creating a nutrient-rich liquid that feeds plants and improves soil health. It supplies a broad range of nutrients, beneficial microbes, and trace minerals while reducing reliance on synthetic fertilisers.
Typical Ingredients:
- Non-chlorinated water (rainwater or dechlorinated tap water)
- Leaf mould or forest humus (source of beneficial microorganisms)
- Organic plant materials such as:
- Weeds
- Grass clippings
- Crop residues
- Leaves
- Comfrey, nettles, or other nutrient-rich plants
- Optional additives:
- Seawater (trace minerals)
- Molasses or brown sugar (to support microbial activity)
- Fish scraps, bone meal, or other nutrient-rich organic matter depending on the desired nutrient profile
- Even manure from some animals can be used (but be careful with what you produce)

Aaron has slowly grown into gardening (pun intended) after he turned 30 years old in the pursuit to become more sustainable and began the simple act of making compost from the household daily food scraps. Having been raised in suburbia and only having known a city urban environment, there has been a big learning curve in all areas of plants and gardening. Aaron now writes about his passion for gardening in all forms for this website and others and is truly a Plant Carer.
