I've got a bunch of aloe steeping in a gallon of water. It started oozing slime the moment I cut it.
I'll run it through a strainer then pour the liquid into ice cube trays.
Then try one cube in a 5-gallon bucket on some tomatoes and see what happens.

In aloe the saponins and polysaccharides act as great surfactants. Salicylic acid kick-starts the plants defense mechanisms. It can be used at low doses for foliar sprays.

I hope you all don't mind me jumping in here but have you al heard about raspberry bushes and blueberry chopping them up and mixing with your soil. There saying you'll never have to use nutrient and it's best fertilizer for your plants to date. It was talked about on a pod cast I was watching on youtube. Growing With Fishes ever hear of it ?

I'm gunna have to look into that but I'm sure it wouldn't cover everything the soil needs but maybe along with other things it could be done!

I've always heard that if blueberry is thriving in some soil, weed will too, I don't have any experience with it and dont know if it is true

Beans do real well as both want slightly acidic soil. Sandy is nice for them. Might not be the preference of the beloved plant.
