There is an easy way to use the tables in this section to make
fertilizer, and it is entirely close enough that your plants won't
know the difference. There is also a more difficult way that
gives you very tight accuracy, which I'll explain after I've
demonstrated the easy way.
I will demonstrate the easy way with an example. Pretend you

The equations for the number of ounces of an organic source
you need in order to get a certain number of ounces of
nutrient are:
