We are always exploring new ways to fertilize our plants. We have used food waste, garden waste, and by-products of our composting to nourish the soil in our community garden.
Here is an overview of what we have tried so far;
-
- `Banana skins soaked in water
-
- Coffee grounds and eggshells
-
- Coffee grounds sprinkled onto soil
