Modern industrial fertilisers are made from fossil hydrocarbons. In future we can't use that. But, although I am prejudiced in favour of #organic agriculture, I'd be interested to know whether it would be possible to synthesise fertiliser from widely available resources without using fossil hydrocarbon.
Anyone got any pointers?

I did find some phone pics of the process. The most interesting steps are missing, but it's better than nothing.

(Re-uploading to this instance)
Brass cast little sculpture of a wood cube showing tunnels carved by a woodworm. Of course the tree was already firewood when I found it, I only cut it into a rough cube. And the woodworm was long gone: Wherever you are, I hope you're OK, it was nice making this collab with you.
