Soil is an important element for the growth of plants because they derive nutrients and nourishment from it. Soil is to plants what food is to us humans. Therefore, soil fertilization acts as an injection of nutrients already present in the soil. Think of it as a healthy, balanced diet whenever your body is lacking nutrients. Below are some easy to make fertilizers.

Just like we humans like to eat eggs for breakfast because they are a good source of calcium and potassium for our body, our plants can also benefit from them. The calcium found in eggshells helps plants build a strong cell structure. To use eggshells, remove the contents inside the egg, clean the eggshells and crush them well using a mortar and pestle. Then spread the crushed eggshells evenly on the top layer of soil.
