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.

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
