Why waste money on commercial, fossil fuel derived fertilisers when you can make your own? Very cheaply too.
Give the garden centre aisles of horrific horticultural chemicals a miss and do your plants, our insects, wildlife and the planet a favour instead.

@pink The FPJ is different to a water extract. It’s a more concentrated liquid feed to be diluted 1:1000 to 1:500 with rainwater. It can also be made long term shelf stable after a vinegar extract.
In a UK climate if kept cool and out of sunlight the initial FPJ liquid is stable long enough to use over a growing season without refrigeration.
(See my replies to @jjmcgaffey for instructions).
The amendments (with many more) are from this book:

@Broadfork But why make so much effort with jars in your kitchen when you can just ferment all the weeds you pull from your beds in a water bucket outside like @pink suggested? Throw in your wash or leftovers from sourdough production, too. Then you even have yeast and lacto bacillus in it. Take a piss in that same bucket or throw in your chicken manure or worm tea/compost and give it a good stir. Doesn't need a laboratory, it's not rocket science. Or if it is, please educate me!
