My sad little windowsill herbs went from pale and droopy to a full, happy bush after I started saving my eggshells, crushing them up, and mixing them into the soil every other week.

The calcium made a huge difference in about a month, and now I have more basil than I know what to do with, so what other kitchen scraps do you all use for your plants?

Try banana peels for a potassium boost.

My buddy tried that once and ended up with a stomach ache for hours. He didn't boil the peels first, which is apparently a big deal. Some advice needs a warning label.

omg YES thank you for saying this my neighbor told me the same thing and I was so desperate for potassium I just blended a raw peel into a smoothie and it was like eating sand mixed with sadness lol definitely had to peel it first and boil it down for like ten minutes before it was even close to edible
