My blog backlogs have piled up. I've yet to write about my London adventure in October (before I start forgetting the details) and an unexpected trip to India in November.
Anyway, I'll start with the short and easy backlogs first.
I recently found out from a friend that you could use eggshells and tea leaves as fertilizer. I regularly consume eggs and drink tea so it's perfect for me. At least they'll serve a better purpose than just throwing them away.
For the eggshells, all you need to do is to crush the eggshells. The finer/powdery it is, the easier and faster it would decompose. But if you don't have the time to crush them to a powder form (like me!), it's also ok. The eggshells would still leach calcium and other nutrients into the soil as they decompose.
You can can mix the crushed eggshells with the soil or just put the crushed eggshells on top of the soil around the base of the plant to make your plants grow healthy and strong.
For tea leaves, you can just remove the tea bag and add the tea leaves to the soil. Super easy!
My plants do look happy. And one of them just sprouted twins. :)
My friend said he has put a lot of crushed eggshells and tea leaves into the soil and he noticed that the newer baby plants grew faster and are now taller than the older baby plants. Our conclusion was that with all the crushed eggshells and tea leaves in the pot, it's like the plants are having a buffet everyday. Haha...
