There's a lot of interesting recipes involving fermentation/decomposition. 

Anaerobically decomposing comfrey makes a good liquid fertilizer and probably works with many other plants too, though I imagine it depends what kind of chemicals result from each kind of plant.

There's an Asian recipe they call fermented plant juices where you go out in the morning when plants have high levels of hormonal activity and gather the growing tips of fast-growing plants.  The plants are then cut up and placed in a bucket then pressed down to exclude oxygen.  A bag can be placed inside the bucket with water in it to weigh the stuff down and exclude oxygen for a couple of days.  Then there's liquid in there from transpiration/decomposition that's supposed to be like chlorophyll/hormone soup to feed plants.

Wood vinegar is a fertilizer/pH adjuster kind of concoction that is made by condensing the smoke that results from making charcoal.

Right now I'm trying to culture my own "indigenous microorganisms".  I built a wooden box, filled part way with cooked rice, covered in a t-shirt and some straw mulch and set out in the garden in shade.  The whole process seems very interesting as the result of the first culture can be further fermented at least 2 more stages.  After the rice is fully colonized it can be mixed with molasses/sugar then fermented.  The result of that can be mixed with bran and buried under mulch outside and is supposed to heat up to ~140°F.  It seems like at any point you can decide to toss the stuff in the garden.

Those are some real things people do...I try stuff on my own a bit too.  Pee goes in the compost or sometimes in the grass/ornamentals.

And um...since you're using the word weird, here's a couple weird things that aren't exactly fertilizer but um...I have pictures of them.
Last year I soaked some cigarette butts in water in this jar which made a nicotine tea.  Well I didn't use very much of it and now I've just ended up watching this stuff to see what happens next.  It's gone from clear to brown to bright green with algae to highlighter yellow and now there's some white in there.  Gross right?! :laugh:


I buried a mason jar in the garden last year as a slug trap.  Let it sit there and now it's insect/beer/yeast/plant debris soup.  Sometimes it floods over and I wonder how much it might be fertilizing the nearby area.  Here it is in a stagnant period...yummy?

As important as composition is delivery, I cut holes in the tops of milk jugs leaving the handle on, then drill a 1/16" hole at a thick corner spot on the side just above the bottom, pour in nearly a gallon of fertilized water and in half an hour it drains deep into the soil leaving a wet spot as small as the size of a pack of cigs. Injects the full dose right down into one plants root zone, they love it.

This is actually a very good idea. Kind of like how people bury around a 2' length or so of pvc into the ground when they initially plant a tree, so they can just stick a hose into it and ensure that the water is getting really deep into the tree's rootzone later on when it's larger.

Seems like overkill to me.  I just put down a shit load of mulch in increase infiltration.  But I guess I am in Louisiana so water is not really a scarcity.
