VIDEO: 5 Simple Truths About Adding Coffee Ground & Egg Shells To The Garden
In this video I will be covering the truths about adding coffee grounds and eggshells in the garden. There are many questions, many misconceptions, so I will be answering the questions and laying to rest the misconceptions about these 2 fantastic free resources.
How is the property coming,have you made any progress?
Turns out the corner of my house where I had 3 yards of compost was actually sitting on top of like 3 feet deep over 12ft at the corner with a bush and rocks now I have like 9 yards of dirt
This guy never responds back
Dinosaur eggs can be found intact after 65000000 years . Eggshells can help drainage but I doubt they add calcium to the soil .
Question not necessarily related to this video. Are there any vegetable seeds you can plant before it snows, that will germinate when it gets warm enough in the spring?
You have clearly highlighted why you rotate 3-4 compost heaps, so you have a fresh batch each planting season.
do you have a link to order the trifecta?
Is that a wisconcen accent?
I actually grind the shells and grounds in a magic bullet to fine dust, it seems to work better with nutrient uptake. Your tums solution is something I just tried, too soon for noticeable results.
My nightcrawlers and redworms take care of these things faster, I like to mix the coffee with rockdust and everything else especially kale plant thick stems. Worms also love the eggshells whole, because I noticed they like to shak up in it. Like a worm motel.
Love this info! I have coffee grounds! But beware of eggshells in the blender. They dull the blades so either get one from the thrift store, or pound them with the flat side of a mallet or in a mortar and pestle.
Just what was on my mind. Thank u for the advice.
Sterilizing eggshells. Now I've heard it all
I add crushed egg shells but haven't tried coffee grounds yet
Good God. Just buy some fertilizer.
I use fresh coffee grounds on my garden no problem
Well, I don’t think you are right about the egg shells fixing the blossom end rot. I had a very good experience of fixing that problem. I would say one week after I the egg shells in. I use a food processor to grind the egg shells before putting them to the tomatoes pot.
So…it's just better to add them to my compost pile? I also take the trouble to peel out the inner lining if my egg shells so they don't stink or attract varmints
Compost baby! Every once in a while I'll put my worms and put them in. Love your advice! Keeps me on my toes. Keep doing your vid.
Speaking of fertilizer, can you add a whole bag of organic granular fertilizer like jobes organics to a big barrel/drum and ferment it to use as a diluted liquid fertilizer?
I add those to my compost system, and when I grow my tomatoes, (mostly in big pots of potting soil/compost, because we have really heavy clay soil), I bury a small chunk of Ca/Mg supplement pills from the drug store into each pot, near the roots, and do not have blossom end rot anymore.
I have an Oster that I bought for $19.95 at Walmart, and I use it to powder eggshells, charcoal and old rotten drywall. I will occasionally run chicken bones through it as well. It works great! I thought for sure I would bend the blades, but it has held up very well, despite running some burn-pile charcoal through it that occasionally sparked as I hit a missed nail or something. I did NOT know that about the salmonella and egg shells; great info, thanks!
I put coffee grounds around my milkweeds to keep the aphids off. Works great.
Do I have to wash the egg shells to rid the waste from the contents and do we need to rinse off the grounds?
what about adding a fish head under your tomato plant
