I mix a "tea" using alfalfa pellets, epsom salts, blackstrap molasses. Let it steep outside for 48 hours or longer. Let the alfalfa settle to the bottom and then use the liquid to fertilize tomatoes and peppers. I mix all of this in 5 gallon bucket of rain water. I also top dress the peppers with the alfalfa leftover in the bucket. They love it and they bloom like crazy.
