I've compiled a short note-form-type list of things I've been reading today that interested me. Mainly where Nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous can be found in easily acquired foods or items besides store bought ferts.
Feel free to add your own interesting data but please refer to links. Thanks!
Important Nutrients:
Nitrogen = Ammonia
Potassium = Hardwood ash/lye, sodium free baking POWDER, Boiled Beans, small white, mature seeds,
Phosphorus = sodium free baking POWDER, Rice Bran, Roasted pumpkin + squash seeds, Flax seed
Acidity:
Soil is acidic when pH is less than 6 and alkaline when it is greater than 8. You can test, lower, or raise your ph using vinegar and baking soda.
Important Hormones:
Gibberellin hormone = Makes plants Tall
Cytokinin like Zeatin = Makes plants Bushy
Each inhibits the other
Nutrition Data:
SELF Nutrition Data
Potassium Essentials
Home pH Soil Test using vinegar and baking soda:
How To Test Soil Acidity/Alkalinity without a Test Kit
How Can I Make My Own Soil PH Test?
Vinegar and Baking Soda to Increase and Decrease PH in Soil
Plant Hormones:
PLANT HORMONES, NUTRITION, AND TRANSPORT
Types of Plant Hormones
Florigen Coming of Age after 70 Years
