I have friends that use it. You have to water it down apparently.

Don’t be angry Carmen Nelson. It’s ok. It’s normal for ‘laydeees’. We don’t need your angry emojis here.

Eggs shells ground up, tea leaves & coffee grounds, banana peels dug into the soil or leave skins to steep in water then use that as a spray, Epson salts also give them an extra boost.

Hair. Dog, cat or human. You just make a ping pong ball size and Bury it just under the soil.

Soak nettles for about a month then you will have liquid fertiliser it does smell badly but its worth it also seaweed if you have access to it.

Banana skins feed all plants. All you do is pop them near the plant or in the pot. No work involved
