Hi, I'm doing my first grow, and in the ideal world it would be 100% organic but I think this might not be possible for a number of reasons including budget, experience, time I have to spend etc etc
... however in the past I've grown some bazil and chilies and a couple of similar things and I used coffee grounds to add nitrogen and I think eggshells and banana peels for some of the other nutrients. I am not incredibly concerned about yields for this grow - does anybody know if there would be anything in particular missing from the nutrient mix going with this approach, and whether I could get those from household throwaways without concerning myself about it ... or would i have to purchase some kind of off the shelf organic fertilizer ( which I'm trying to avoid because I have to reserch it, source it, pay for it ... and postage probably ) - and yes I DO KNOW that this is bit of a half baked plan at this point and I'm sure most people here will consider the nutrient area to be an artform in itself so please forgive the crudeness of the approach I promise to take it more seriously in the future I just have to start somewhere, and any help at all would be appreciated - thanks
