I mean without using poop, my husband buy chicken and cow manur every summer, and it stunked. He even used our son's poop, dead gold fish with tail stuck out the soil, I don't think I want to eat the vegetable he planted.
nope, no home made other than poop. they might stink but they taste better than the fertilizer old bill sells.
if you drink coffee save the grounds and add them to the soil
the coffee ground is perfect to enrich the soil under the flowers as I experienced. they love it! but you can`t use it in a huge quantity unless if you have a private coffeshop :)
we use our mulched leaves. Lime will also neutralize the soil and is cheap to use. You could also google composting and see what it tells you. Preparing good garden soil takes a few years
you can start a compost bin...you can put any natural, organic material in it (no feces of any kind) and let it decompose. you have to turn it every so often to help the bacteria decompose the organic matter. you can also do a lasagna garden: lay newspaper over where your garden will be, then soil, then newspaper, then soil...etc until you have about 10 or so layers of each. my mother-in-law does this and it works very well.
