Go fishing in pond catch fish and keep, on the way out get cow poo and your growing good and cheap.
i use coffee grounds on top of my soil and water through them during veg growth for some good nitrogen. then during flowering i make a tea out of water, molasses, and ashed citrus and banana peel. id recommend going to a used book store or something and getting The Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening. that book has SOOOOOO much useful info for growing an organic crop. it has tons of good info on growing your veggie garden also, so you can cure those muchies with some nice organic produce from your back yard!

Some think it's odd, but during vegetation period your urine diluted with water 10:1(water:urine) is an excellent nitrogen source... and technically a complete fertilizer(some growers had used it exclusively). It's claimed, if over-used, it can prolong vegetative period and inhibit flowering. You don't need to use urine every time you water. Don't piss ON your plant!!! Mix and apply to roots/soil only.

Coffee grounds are way to hot to water directly into your plants. You need to compost them first. I'm curious, though, how are your results with just watering them in?
so far so good. and your right, you really should compost coffee grounds before you use them. but i was on a time crunch and i didnt have enough time for that, so i just use them sparingly and dont put them too close to the base of my plant. the only problem that i'v encountered is that they kind of crust up and repel water if you put them on too thick.
if you wanna try composting your own waste then you should check out this book called The Humanure Handbook. i cant remember who its by of the top of my head, but its got tons and tons of good info on how to safely use your waste as compost. they also have a really good section on composting toilets in this book called Cloudburst 1&2. might be worth a trip to the library if thats the kind of think that you're into.

Nothing. Neptunes Harvest is fish emulsion, at least that is their main ingredient.
