Here, you have many steps to follow:
First of all, you should get raw material such as fresh grass, plant clippings, eggshells, banana skins, apple cores, etc. Also, you can add animal droppings and rotten food waste to the plants soil. This last option is valid for those who do not feel nauseous when seeing droppings or rotten waste.
Second, you ought to bury all the stuff well in order to avoid future pests. This natural fertilizer should not have animal rests such as bones or fat, because this will attract animals to the plants.
It is important that the stuff conserves humidity. In order to achieve this, you should periodically remove the surface layer and check the soil and in case it isn´t wet, add more water. Also, in order to aerate the soil, remove the surface with a garden shovel or rake periodically.

How Can We Know When the Fertilizer is ready?
In order to get your natural fertilizer ready to apply you should calculate the time. It takes 2-4 months to be ready to apply, so it is convenient to start making it in autumn so as to be ready to apply in spring.
Once the fertilizer turns into a brown color and has a rough and wet texture like a sponge, it will be ready to apply on our plants. Also be aware that the stuff smells like earth.
