OK, i'm new to organics but bear with me and please correct me ( cause i AM wrong )
1. You can fertilize your plants with water in which you've put decaying leaves from all sorts of plants ( i.e. grape vine, grapes, apple, bannana peel - i ate the bannana -, garden flower leaves, etc ), ground coffee and ground corn. This will result in a brown liquid a bit more visquous than water that seems to have given my plant which was lacking any smell a very very potent smell ( must be doing good, right ? )
2. Ashes from dead leaves, hay, grass, fruit, anything green that can be burnt are good as solid fertilizer to mix with the soil OR mix with water, leave them to blend for 3-5 days then water the plants.
3. Buying earthworms from a baitshop ( like 10-20 per plant pot- 1-2 gallon pot size ) and throwing them inside and putting some maise flour in the pot ( a teaspoon ) and covering it up with dirt to feed the little wormies. This will give earthworm castings and if ( when ) the worms die, they fertilize the soil
I can't think of anything else right about now, i will come back to the thread tomorow and ask some more if you are willing to listen.
Thanks
