Homemade Fertilizers

Ellen's article is great. Thanks for the good ideas. I'm curious about using foliar fertilizers for supplementing new cuttings. I didn't see mention of worm casting tea. Would one add the molasses to that for the bubbling method, and what are the appropriate ratios of castings to water for both brewing and spraying?

Also, can blackberry leaves be used to make a fertilizer? We have tons of it here and it's quite invasive. I've always wanted to find a use for them.

Last, your web contact was unclear to me. Perhaps a link to your contact page?

Thank you,
Benjamin

What are some household or homemade fertilizers? I've heard that you can use coffee grounds, tea bags and other things like that. What can I use for fertilizer?


I had once heard that there was a household item that you could sprinkle around your pepper plants that would help green peppers grow in our garden. Has anybody heard of this?
