Take only a tablespoon each: potassium sulfate and superphosphate. Or, to choose from: a glass of ash, a tablespoon of urea, 2 tablespoons of ammophoska. Dissolve these fertilizers in 10 liters of water.
Organic fertilizers include bird droppings, mullein, herbal infusions, or nettles. Peat, compost, or humus are also suitable.
