“土办法”如何说
例：这个“土办法”很管用。
土办法，是否可翻译为：indigenous method?
但indigenous含意为：Originating and growing or living in an area or environment
似乎不太适合

Depending on the context, it can also be translated as "local method".

"Indigenous" may mean more than that.
Indigenous method 说得通的。

Thanks a lot for all the above suggestions and kindness for providing instructive hints
一般“土办法”指非公众正式承认的或民间流传的、不是很正规的方法等。
土办法应该不等于traditional，因为traditional也有可能是正式的或不那么updated,
看来似乎只能用indigenous method了

Occasionally we can use "personally/locally invented/applied method", a much easier way to express "土办法".
