Composting Tips
- Banana Peels are rich in potassium and help plants grow flowers and fruit when used as an organic alternative to chemical fertilizers. You can plant the peel under the soil near the roots of the plant or just throw the peel on top of the soil and let it decompose. If you are concerned about attracting pests, try liquefying the banana scrap in a blender with one quart of water before pouring it on to your plant or bush.
- Coffee Grounds contain nitrogen and minerals which can boost a plant's life. Start by mixing modest amounts of coffee grounds into your potted plants or garden; for example, 1 tablespoon for potted plants and 1 cup for gardens. You should also dry the grounds before applying them to the soil as this prevents mold growth.
- Egg Shells, which are 98% calcium, help improve your plant and tree growth. First, wash and dry out the egg shells, then place them in a bag or blender and crush them into a fine powder-like consistency. Simply sprinkle the egg shell powder around your trees and plants.
