lack of nutes

I know a lot of tricks. But what do you do in desperate times when you have no nutes....

If you live where you have access to forest topsoil or compost;old leave/grass clipping piles etc.. you could make a tea.
Could also look into diluting you urine which has urea a source of nitrogen.

Can you think of anymore

go home home depot and buy miracle grow.

Hydro / garden stores a lot of the times will have samples to give out. Could try doing that.
Google local businesses that deal with earth worm castings or compost and email them asking them for a sample to try. Being local it's more likely they'd ship a sample.

Make a tea like suggested. If there's a farm near you see if you can get some doo doo

Teas all day. Super easy. Just give it time to brew up

Sir KK

I always treated my plants like myself with regard to food. Indians go chewing some newspaper because my cupboards were empty, I either made sure id have food, or if I completely failed on that, which didn't happen, then id just go out to the closest shop and buy some to tide me by.

And if desperate, then have some eggs for breakfast with a pot of tea and chuck the shells and tea leaves on top of the soil. Your mother has probably been doing it for decades. Ive found that for plants, parents are a valuable source of information. They didn't have easy access, the money, or even the availability of magic bottles of nutrients. They tend to know all of the old school feeding methods that don't involve taking the cap off a bottle and pouring some liquid into the watering can.
