1 can of beer
2 TBSP of liquid dish soap
2 TBSP of fish emulsion (garden supply store should have this)
2 TBSP of ammonia
2 TBSP of hydrogen peroxide
2 TBSP of whiskey
2 TBSP of clear corn syrup
2 TBSP of epsom salts
1 TBSP of unflavored gelatin
4 tsp of instant tea granules
2 gallons of warm water
Mix all of the above and feed this to your plants every two weeks. This really brings out the blooms on the flowers

I usually use brewed tea leaves on a regular basis. (They're great for growing roses.) After using loose tea leaves, (black tea); for brewing tea, just drain them as much as possible and leave them out to dry. Then sprinkle sensible amounts around the base of your plants in a circle. Do this regularly.
If you want faster results, based on the picture of death you're painting for your plants, perhaps you can try using chemical fertilisers for more immediate effects. But since excessive usage is not recommended, I use them only once a month or so... Natural is always best.
Also, you can prepare your own compost.
Use a small pot and half fill it with soil. Then add in dead leaves, flower petals(from bloomed flowers that are dying off), broken stems and small dead twigs, and other organic stuff; including the tea leaves too... Than cover that off with some more soil. Just keep mixing it up periodically with a small spade over a few weeks to a month plus. There you have it! Natural compost/fertiliser for your plants.
Do note that the lack of fertiliser may not be the main problem after all. There are bugs that can wreak havoc on plants too. So I suggest you check out your plants' condition up close and get the appropriate remedy for them quickly. Also, are you watering the right amounts for them? And how about the amount of sunlight received each day? Do consider consulting someone at your local nursery if you need extra help too...
Good Luck!!

Tea leaves and coffee grounds make good fertilizer. Depending on the type of plant you may need something else. I personally keep a compost pile going and drain off the compost tea for fertilizer. The compost itself is good to use also.

I would be curious to hear a description of what is wrong. Fertlizing a sick plant isn't always the answer. Especially if it is too dry, get it well watered and then fertlize, and please don't use Miracle Gro on a sick plant it could burn it badly. Compost tea would be a good idea though (you soak compost in water and pour the liquid onto the plant)

assemble a great volume of nettles and placed them in a bucket crammed with water. Then enable the nettles to ferment for some days interior the bucket till you're left with a muddy brew. you may then use the two the wilted, decomposed nettles utilized to around the roots of the plant or use the water as liquid fertilizer.

plenty of horticulture sites on, and your local greenhouses should help you. also, are you over watering? not watering enough? this could also be the problem personally, I'd turn on cspan and let them listen to an hour of fertilizer straight from Washington. good luck and peace!
