coffe grounds, banana peels and eggshells???

[spliff88]

I want to use an all natural fertilizer, old timers tell me coffee grounds, banana peels and egg shell's work? Not really sure. Any answers?

Worm compost. Get a worm bin. If you could do only one thing, this would be it. Put your coffee and bananas and eggshells in that. You won't need many eggshells, however

Worm bin?

yessir! worm bins or farms break down nutrients in your raw kitchen scraps and THAN they become plant ready. by collecting the worm poop basically

I have found my worms don't like coffee grounds much... I use them in my compost pile instead.
equal amounts of fruit are disposed of in like a dy and a half, but coffee grinds take like a month.
Annnnnd I have NO shortage of worms... like almost a solid mass of them.

But all of those I put in the compost pile instead.
my worms just get veggies and fruits, they seem to like those better.
I use the eggshells in the compost pile too, but not very much, I think my calcium content is all good with my other ammendments
to answer your question though, they'll be fine in PURE coffee grinds... that's what my brothers wormbin is, almost 100%

So I can't just go buy some worms and put the soil of egg shell's bananas and coffee in a big bucket And let compost?

I just have a big ole smart pot, so simple, and they love it.
I think it's a 65 or maybe a 50 gal, but I started in a 15 gal, got some old egg cartons, and a couple soaked boxes, and voila you are done

Thx for the help guys. Going to start my homemade worm compost

I save my eggshells to add as a soil amendment. I rinse them off, let them dry then powderize them in the nutri-bullet. I find crushed shells take too long to break down in the worm bin.

But don't just take random info like this and try to apply it for example you have to feed your worms equal weight in scraps to there ACTUAL weight, or YOULL over feed them, then they'll die!
