minus-square9point6@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 month agoNot gonna pretend I’m an expert or anything, but What about compost? I think I’ve read that seaweed can be good too, but I’m not sure if that’s more of an addition rather than a replacement I’m pretty sure most fertilisers you get come from either animal waste or petrochemicals
