How do we make fertilizer?
Your plants need food ( nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium ) to grow healthy and strong.

Nutrients Plants Need:

Plants needs a well-balanced diet of:

    Nitrogen: for leaf growth.

    Phosphorous: for root growth.

    Potassium: for flower and fruit development.

Plants also need “micro-nutrients” in small amounts, including calcium, sulfur, magnesium, zinc, and iron.

Fish guts, bones, and heads are good sources of nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous, and amino acids.
Human urine is rich in nitrogen, potassium, and phosphate, a well-balanced meal for plants.
Also Wood ash, crumbled eggshells., are some examples of inexpensive natural fertilizers.
