Egg Shells
You wouldn’t think that you could put eggshells into your garden, but remember that eggshells are packed with protein. If you look closely at the ingredients in plant food, they contain protein powder, which you can easily get from eggshells. Crush your eggshells into tiny pieces or leave them to dry and then grind them into a fine powder and sprinkle all over your garden. These too are great pest repellents.
Peels
There are many fruits and vegetables that require peeling, such as oranges, bananas, cucumbers, garlic, and onions. Banana peels are packed with potassium which helps flowers bloom big. Orange peels are not only packed with nutrients, but they can also keep cats away from your garden and garlic wards off pests.
Scraps
Every time you wash the dishes you check the drain and there’s all kinds of scraps left over. Take a closer look because these too can be beneficial to your garden. Things like whole grain cereals, fruits and vegetable peels, can all be collected and thrown into your garden. Just make sure you don’t throw meats, grease, oil, or dairy products to your soil because these can disrupt the soil in a negative way. Give your scraps an extra rinse, just in case.
