Ingredients You’ll Need

This potent fertilizer can be made with ingredients commonly found in most kitchens:

• 1 tablespoon of used coffee grounds – rich in nitrogen

• 1 tablespoon of wood ash – a natural source of potassium and calcium

• 1 tablespoon of crushed eggshells – for calcium and micronutrients

• 1 teaspoon of brown sugar or molasses – to feed beneficial soil microbes

• 1 liter of water

Each ingredient plays an important role in balancing the soil and feeding your plants gently but effectively.

How to Prepare the Fertilizer

1. Crush the eggshells into a fine powder using a blender or mortar and pestle.

2. Mix the eggshell powder, coffee grounds, and wood ash in a small container.

3. Add the brown sugar or molasses to a liter of water and stir until it dissolves.

4. Combine the dry ingredients with the sweetened water.

5. Let the mixture sit for 6–12 hours to allow for slight fermentation and activation.

The result is a nutrient-packed liquid fertilizer ready to be used on nearly all your plants.
