Organic Plant Fertilizer - Corpse Tea
This is my favorite fertilizer for the garden. I used it on my beans last year, and they grew the biggest leaves I've seen on bean plants, not to mention tons of tasty beans. To a half-gallon of water, add two spoonfuls of fish meal (last year I used a commercial fish meal, this year I'm using dried ground trout carcasses), two spoonfuls of kelp, and one handful of compost. Loosely cover, and let the mixture sit for 2-3 days*, or until the bubbling settles down. You can dilute this tea in water, but I usually just put it in my watering can undiluted, and make sure all the plants in my garden get a little dribble.
*Don't make the same mistake I did the first time and brew this in your kitchen, or you'll find out how it got it's name.
