I would love some tried and true recipes for some natural fertilizers and the like. I am all about natural rather than chemical. Any good fertilizer, potting soil, something to deter bugs, etc out there.

Kitchen Ingredients - Fertilizer
There are many ingredients in your kitchen, which you can use while practicing organic gardening.
Egg Shells: They are rich a rich source of potassium and calcium. You will need to grind empty dry egg shells before you sprinkle it in your garden.
Coffee Waste: Mix four parts of water with one part of the wate left behind after making coffee, and spray it in your garden once a week. Your plants will get magnesium, potassium and nitrogen from the coffee waste.
White Vinegar: Mix one tablespoon of white vinegar with one gallon of water. Use the solution to make your plants lush green. Vinegar contains acetic acid, which increases the acidity of the soil.
Epsom Salt: Epsom salts contains sulfate and magnesium, which are good for plants like potatoes, tomatoes, roses, etc. One tablespoon of Epsom salt should be mixed with a gallon of water. Use Epsom salt once a month for your plants.
Banana Peels: Do you throw away your banana peels away. Use these peels for your rose plants and see them flourish.
Tea Waste: Tea waste is especially useful for orchid. You can use your tea bags and tea waste, in summer and spring, to nourish your plants.
Milk: Milk mixed with water in the ratio 1:4, will give your plants nitrogen building protein. You can feed your plants with milk once every week.

I hope the organic fertilizer recipes will help you in making your own fertilizer at home. It is important that you store your homemade organic fertilizer in an airtight container and away from direct sunlight. Since you are using organic fertilizer, I will suggest you discontinue the use of insecticides and pesticides, and instead resort to using organic pest control methods, so that you get the best results.
