Make a fertilizer
Seed meals tend to be acidic, so lime is included to balance that out. Dolomite limestone is roughly half Magnesium Carbonate and half Calcium Carbonate. Calcitic limestone is pure Calcium Carbonate. Plants usually need more calcium than magnesium; so, if you want to be really tricky, use 1/3 part dolomite lime and 2/3 part calcitic lime.
If your soil is alkaline, you might experiment with reducing or eliminating the lime in this mix.
The rice husk or rice hull is created by the rice milling process .This bio waste is good source of fuel for biomass power plants .Being a cheaper cost alternative, is widely used by paper plants for the production of energy & stream for captive purposes. This husk contains about 75 % organic volatile matter and the balance 25 % of the weight of this husk is converted into ash during the firing process , & is named as as rice husk ash.

"The Master's" All Purpose Fertilizer 1 can of beer 1 can of cola (any kind, NOT iet) 1 box or cup of apple juice 1 cup lemon scented liquid soap 1 cup ammonia 1 cup liquid lawn fertilizer Mix together all ingredients. If you buy liquid lawn fertilizer with a hose sprayer attachment, you can use the attachment with any 1 liter bottle to make a 50 gallon sprayer. Spray your lawn and garden with the above mixture every 3 weeks, early in the day. For houseplants, mix 4 shot glasses of the above mixture to 1 gallon of water and add 1/4 tsp knox gelatin.
so don't use lawn fertilizer in your perennial beds!It isn't necessary to buy different fertilizers for different plants, so don't be taken in by the myriad of products on the shelf. You don't need rose food and tomato food and bloom "boosters". A single, all-purpose fertilizer will take care of all your vegetables and blooming plants. You will also need a separate formulation for your lawn.
