I am doing an experiment for my science fair project on the effects that different fertilizers would have for radishes. I researched that plants need 3 main nutrients: nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
How long does it take for radishes to grow?
Does this mean that if I put bananas in a blender and poured it over my radish, it would be a type of fertilizer. Could that be one of my varibles.
Does anyone have any more ideas?
I read that fish food is good. (is animal and human waste full of nitrogen?) Apple cider and cheese are good sources of phosphorus.

How would I use the apple cores? Just leave them on the radishes?

fertilizers should be mulched into the soil. ideally it is made from compost that is made up of a variety of waste including leaves and grass clippings, peels, cores, and other ucooked vegetables, and cow or horse manure.

you never use protein or dairy sources for composting so i don't think cheese would be a good idea but apple peels and cores, bananas, any leftover salad stuff chopped up would be -- i'd try hot peppers to see if they impart any of their capasin. good luck!

I'd try different chemical and natural fertilizers, like different formulas of chemical fertilizers, rotted manure, and compost (if you can get your hands on some.) Check my best answer on soil ameliorants:
