It's possible to live without a scale. The teaspoon method really does
work.
Small accurate digital scales aren't that hard to find. They can only handle
100 or 200 grams but are very accurate. Add a bigger scale which doesn't need
to have the same accuracy. Being off a gram when weighing two grams is bad.
Being off ten grams when weighing 1 kilo isn't that bad. So a combination of
a small digital gem scale and a bigger scale [postal?] works just fine. Or
for the things that need accuracy solutions work to.

For me one of the advantages of mixing my own is I don't need to mix up
5
litres of stuff. Unless I want to of course. I also rarely mix stock
solutions. Instead mixing straight up the diluted solution.
