What household products can be used as plant fertilizers?

Sugar water I think a 1 to 3 thing like... 1 cup of sugar for every 3 cups of water... and if you have any animals their leftovers work well. haha

Strong Cold Tea Is Good For Use As A Plant Fertilizer, Also The Tea Leaves.

Updated answer: some household products, like Epsom salts, can be used in the garden. Tea leaves and coffee grounds can be added to the compost pile, and compost is a good basic fertilizer. The "animal leftovers" mentioned above, aka manure, is also a good fertilizer once composted. I would not recommend sugar water, since it does not contain any of the NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) fertilizer components. And sugar water can lead to bacterial and fungal growth in soil.

For best results, use fertilizers commercially sold, or make your own compost.
