Compost tea is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are essential for plant growth.

Eggshells are a great source of calcium, which is essential for strong cell walls in plants. To make eggshell tea, simply crush up eggshells and steep them in water for several days. Strain the liquid and use it to water your plants.

Banana peels are rich in potassium, which is essential for plant growth and development. To make banana peel tea, simply steep banana peels in water for several days, then strain the liquid and use it to water your plants.

Fish emulsion is a concentrated liquid fertilizer made from fish byproducts. It is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, and is a great option for providing your plants with a quick nutrient boost. Simply dilute the fish emulsion with water according to the package instructions, then use it to water your plants.
