There are plenty of things from around the house that can be used to make great potassium rich fertilizers. Wood or fireplace ash is a very good option for boosting the potassium in the soils, just be careful and test the soil first to make sure the soil isn't already alkaline, as fireplace ash will make the soil even more alkaline and if used near any acid loving plants, may deprive them of the acidity that they need.
Used coffee grounds also make for a good fertilizer that has a good amount of potassium in it, again being careful not to overdo it.
Perhaps one of the best things you can do is have your own composting area. Table scraps, paper, dead / dying plant materials all go into it and overtime will create a great fertilizer that your plants will go crazy for. Hope this helps.
