Ever wondered what to do with those banana peels, potato scraps, and eggshells piling up in your kitchen? It’s time to turn your kitchen waste into a gourmet meal for your plants. Here are four easy ways to transform food scraps into top-notch manure and give your plants the TLC they deserve.
Banana Peels
Banana peels are a potassium-packed treasure. Chop them up and bury them around the base of your plants or soak them in a mason jar full of water for a few days and use it to water them. Your plants will thank you with vibrant leaves.
Potato Peels
Before you toss those potato peels, consider using them to nourish your garden. Potato peels are rich in potassium and magnesium, making them ideal plant fertilizers. Dry them out and grind them into a powder, then sprinkle them around your plants as a natural fertilizer.
Eggshells
Eggshells are another great natural fertilizer. Rinse them, crush them, and scatter them around your plants. Eggshells provide a calcium boost to your plants that is sure to keep them growing.
Coffee Grounds
Give your morning pick-me-up a second life in the garden. Coffee grounds are a fantastic source of nitrogen. Mix them into your soil to enhance its texture and fertility. Your plants will wake up to life, just like you do after that first cup.
