That is probably a tremendous idea. Problem: sometimes
you forget just what order of magnitude your skills are
above mine. Maybe 1000 to 1. This idea is so, so
WAY OVER MY HEAD! Maybe in 30 years, if I should live
that long, I will catch up to where you are today (not where you
will be in 30 years).


ok, here it is, simple, you have your special
fertilizer you've been using which is from an
organic supplier.

equipment: bucket, aquarium air pump, hose, air stone,
cheese cloth.

ingredients: water, compost.

method: turn on air pump, add compost to water, let
it brew for a while, strain through cheese cloth, use
on a few plants, see if it works. brew time a few days
to a week. some people add other stuff to the mix like
a little molasses, grass or alfalfa, etc.

as air pumps are very inexpensive along with the rest
of the stuff this is something that can be tried without
risking major expense even if it doesn't work.
