Creating organic fertilizer at home is an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to nourish your plants. Here are five simple methods to make your own organic fertilizer using common household items.
1. Kitchen Scraps Fertilizer
Ingredients:
Fruit and vegetable scraps
Coffee grounds
Eggshells
Method:
Collect Scraps: Save your leftover fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and crushed eggshells.
Blend: Chop the scraps into smaller pieces and blend them together.
Compost: Add the mixture to your compost bin or directly into the soil. This will enrich the soil with nutrients as it breaks down.
2. Banana Peel Fertilizer
Ingredients:
Banana peels
Water
Method:
Cut Peels: Chop banana peels into small pieces.
Soak: Place the pieces in a bowl of water and let them soak for 24-48 hours.
