The only one i can think of is "cow tea". Take manure that is dry and put it in a big bucket and add water to it. About 50/50. After a few days of soaking you just use the manure water that is on the top as a fertilizer.

The most common home made fertilizer is compost. The best thing about compost is that it's free, other than your labor involved in it's making, but we never think of time spent in the garden as labor.
Compost can be added to your garden or you can make compost tea to add nutrients to your potted or container grown plants.

Home made fertilizer is compost and you can water it down and use it as a liquid also. Coffee beans, tea leaves, rotting fruit and veggies will compost quickly. Other than that I've never heard of any home remedies. Hope this helps

You can save your house scrapes if there is no meat or bones. Coffee grounds are good for the mix. If you are buying mix steer manure with compost and put lime in it.
