1. Fertilizers made of dry leaves by burying underground helps above vege plants grows well. If you add sheep or goat excretions would be first class natural fertilizers. The output will be chemical free.
2. All of the above. All vegetation scraps. Just do not put any kind of meat in there. It is best to compost for 6 months before using. Keep turning it over.
3. When it become a hand full of compost soil it's the best. What to Compost/ the link below list all of the materials you can use in the compost and how old it should be before you use it. It also tell you what component it puts in the compost ie; carbon, nitrogen or neutral. http://www.eartheasy.com/grow_compost.html I always go with brown, green and yellow. Brown is leaves, green is green vegetables and yellow is most all fruits and vegetables . Adding bananas adds potassium.

4. Here is my recipe which works! Simmer the following ingredients in water in an 8 qt pot for a few hours stirring occasionally but don't boil. Banana Peels from two bananas (Potassium) Egg Shells from two or three eggs (Calcium Carbonate) Any green vegetable scraps (Nitrogen) Coffee and Coffee grounds (Nitrogen) Wood Ash , not charcoal (potassium and calcium carbonate) Let sit over night Add 1/2 tsp Epsom Salt (magnesium and sulfate) 4 tblspoons of Liquid Seaweed ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Compost isn't the same as fertilizer unless you are talking about compost tea which is similar to what I make.
5. Fish and fish guts work the best. Since the days of the earliest settlers, fish and fish scraps have been used and or recognized as an excellent source of plant nutrition. Our forefathers may not have understood the science of fish as a fertilizer; but the effectiveness, plant quality and improved yields were very evident.
6. Good compost consists of any type of plant life and food scrapes except for meat other then fish. But you have to allow it time to decompose and break down or make a layered salad bed before planting . Chicken, horse, cow, goat or any grass eating animal waste is good for the garden. However it is best that it is worked into the soil a few weeks before planting. Garden teas made from animal waste and organic material can be used at the base of a plant any time. Some communities give out free compost at their dump site for leaves and trees. Check with your community.
