Rocky French Lectures-3! Produce Your Own ‘Urea’ With Snails, Lime, Vinegar!

In today’s episode of the Rocky French Lectures, the Filipino-American Farmer-Scientist explains in the most understandable way the process of producing a natural “Urea” by the hundreds of gallons every three days with just the pesky Golden Kuhol or Snails fed with Malunggay leaves.

Here are the simple instructions:

1. Three days after placing about 2,000 snails fed with Malunggay leaves in a tub with 250 gallons with water, the ammonia-filled water should be transferred to a “curing” tank;

2. The ammonia-filled water will be kept in the drums or water receptacles, preferably covered with fine nets to prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs, for about 6 to 8 weeks;

3. On the 6th to the 8th week, the farmer could start checking whether the ammonia-filled water had been transformed into nitrates by scooping it and checking the color;

4. Once the water color appears like white wine, the process of converting ammonia to nitrites and then nitrates had been completed;

5. For the nitrates to be utilized as natural Urea fertilizer, two tablespoons of lime or “apog” should be mixed with a gallon of liquid nitrates from the receptacles;

6. To control the ph level of the nitrates with apog, at least two tablespoons of common vinegar should be mixed with every gallon or one Calamansi fruit could be squeezed into the nitrates.

7. After this process, the Goldel Kuhol produced ammonia-turned-nitrites-turned-nitrates would now be ready for application in the vegetable garden or the rice fields to replace the commercial Urea;

8. The recommended dilution is 1 Gallon of Nitrates to 5 to 6 Gallons of plain water which could be sprayed as foliar fertilizer in the field as often as indicated by the plants’ vigor and green-ness.

Rocky says Golden Kuhol are the most prolific producers of nitrates over the commonly used method of using fish or vermitea.

Tomorrow, we will end this series with a video of Rocky French’s soil-less organic garden where the plants are anchored in Coco Fiber or Coco Peat and nourished with the Natural Urea produced by the Malunggay-fed Golden Kuhol.
