try growing squash in a compost pile. squash, winter and summer varieties, are heavy feeders. the compost pile should be able to supply the nutrient you need without having to add chemical fertilizers, provided it is large enough.
you could also explore a closed loop aquaculture set up, where a fish (tilapia) based system could be your nutrient input, as well as a protein output.
