Tomatoes thrive when given a little extra natural care! With a few simple ingredients, you can boost their growth and enjoy a more abundant harvest.
1. Eggshells
Crushed into a fine powder and added to the soil, they supply calcium to prevent blossom end rot.
2. Banana peels
Chopped and soaked in water, they release potassium that supports flowering and fruit production.
3. Coffee grounds
Mixed into the soil or brewed into compost tea, they enrich and improve soil texture.
4. Diluted milk
A blend of 1 part milk to 4 parts water strengthens plant tissues and helps prevent powdery mildew.
5. Molasses
Added in small amounts to watering, it feeds beneficial microbes and improves nutrient uptake.
6. Epsom salt
Dissolved in water, it provides magnesium for better photosynthesis and stronger plants.
7. Fish emulsion
Made by fermenting fish scraps, it delivers nitrogen and phosphorus for vigorous growth.
Tip: Always water before fertilizing, rotate your recipes, and watch how your plants respond.
