Natural Fermented Fert/pesticide

FPJ (fermented plant juice), FFJ (fermented fruit juice), ohn (oriental herbal nutrient) are popular in natural/organic farming anyone has an experience on these? it is a DIY thing and i fermented an oregano leaves and will do a trial in one of my lueddemaniana keiki that i just potted. i chose oregano since it is abundant in my backyard and I notice the grasshoppers don't chew it. I don't even see caterpillars try to even wonder in an oregano. the thought was that if you spray plants with it it will somehow repel those pests. time to experiment.

thanks digitalgate. can you explain more on the experience? during the fermentation process white mold actually appears at the surface and the fermented juice in the bottom. articles said that the presence of white mold means that fermentation took place and the mixture is viable.
