Out of curiosity does anyone know where I could acquire 36-0-0 nitrates for hydroponics? Most of my nitrogen is urea and ammoniacal so it's useless in hydroponics. The rest is naturally water-soluble.
you could try brewing up some green tea,
grass clippings are very high in nitrogen and comefry too. to brew is a fairly simple affair.
take a clean pillow case and fill with your green clippings, things like grass clipping comfery leaves etc etc. now take a fairly good sized bin/ barrel and fill with water and leave for a good 24hrs.
once water has been sat for its 24hr statis period its time too hang your full pillow case into your water and cover with a lid. each day or so give your mixture a good stir to keep O2 in the mix and help the fermentation processs.
having your bin in a nice sunny area will help heat up your mixture, after a month too three months your brew will have fermented too a very strong and smelly mixture.
time too put on your rubber gloves and jug it out when you want too feed.
you can keep topping up with water and fresh green leaf rubbish and clippings too keep your mixture brewing untill very late summer /early fall.
be warned this stuff stinks and once on skin wont wash off too easy so rubber gloves are a god send.
your mixture is a strong brew so you may want too test it so you get a rough idea of what you have brewed. maybe test your brew on some unwanted plants see what effect it has and give you a base for amount/water feeding.
hope this helps
