No replies yet??? Omg this is GOLD! I want to know more about cucmber skins orange skins potato peels etc. How do you make them 'ash'? Do you set them on fire and literally collect the ashes? How can i make them soluble in water for fertilising? Do those high numbers of npk mean something after all, am i too excited for nothing special?

Missed this, @Spanglish dunno where you found it, but following your wanderings in the cyber sphere, I goggled a text string and found amongst much else this http://www.growchatforum.com/archive/index.php/t-2980.html?s=4e433965e05c28ce76ceba9ce13babc1 by a well known AFN punter, well worth a long careful read @evol

The NPK table is quoted (copy-pasted) in many places, yeah all the main canna forums too at one point in time or another, but the original source remains obscure, so should perhaps be taken with a grain of salt as mentioned on other forums as well.

It was found during my stoned wanderings into the interwebs as you mentioned is available in a few places, noticed though after i posted it there is a similar list stickied right here in this section by the member Dirt, also that link by evol you found is fantastic with some golden info there
