Coffee Grounds Coffee grounds are rich in nitrogen, which helps promote healthy growth in tomato plants. Sprinkle them around the base of your plants to give them a nutrient boost.
Eggshells Crushed eggshells provide calcium, which helps prevent blossom end rot in tomatoes. Simply scatter crushed shells around the plant’s base or mix them into the soil.
Grass Clippings Fresh grass clippings are a great source of nitrogen and help retain moisture in the soil. Just make sure to use them sparingly to avoid creating a thick layer that can block air circulation.
Compost Compost is packed with essential nutrients and beneficial microorganisms. Adding it to the soil around your tomato plants enhances soil structure and promotes healthy root development.
Banana Peels Banana peels are rich in potassium, an essential nutrient for fruit development. Chop them up and bury them near your tomato plants to encourage better fruit production.
Mulch Organic mulch such as leaves, straw, or wood chips helps retain soil moisture, regulate temperature, and prevent weed growth. It also slowly decomposes, adding valuable nutrients to the soil.
Manure Well-aged manure, such as from cows or chickens, is an excellent source of nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Just be sure to compost it before use to avoid burning the plants.
