Yes, if you like reeking, rotting things in water.

Burying the scraps in the garden will provide more nutrition with less smell.

Peppergrowman, thanks for the recipe.

What are the proportions of scraps to water?

And - how often do you water with that?

Are the ingredients mandatory, or could I improvise? Let's say I don't have banana peels - could they be omitted?

Thanks again, I'm always looking for "free" ways to grow my veggies. :)

RE: Homemade fertilizer recipe

it doesn't matter how often you put the emulsion on your plants . I just eye ball it all. It also helps to add two tbsp's of mollases.Yeah you could omit anything mix all sorts of stuff. Once i only used hibiscus flowers and it was some greatest stuff ever.

there you have it.
