Hey Bro! We might have to get ya'll a "care package"!
Have you got chickens? If so, you can do this: (OUTSIDE or you'll be sleepin' with the hounds!)
Scrape up some of the dirt n' shit in the coop. Then take one of "mama's" old pots and fill it with water and some of the dirt. Boil it for about 10-20 minutes or so. Pour the water off into a bucket, dump the old cooked dirt, reload the pot, pour the water BACK in and continue until you've done 3-4 rounds. Now, because this has been boiled IT IS STERILE. No bugs or fungus. You now have a nice homemade fertilizer "tea". Go easy at first. Mix 1/4 "tea" with water and go from there. Grandma used to make us relocate the coop every couple of years and that's where she would plant her garden. Purple hulls and speckled butter beans and the biggest and most tomatoes you ever seen.
And "yes" you can substitute a cow pie for chicken scratch. Just don't expect mama to want her pot back! ;o)
