How to make your own organic fertiliser for your vegetable garden

Composting is a great way to recycle your food scraps and turn them into something useful for the garden. And it’s really easy to do!

Build a compost heap for organic fertiliser

You can build a compost heap in a shady spot, or even under a tree. The idea is to create an environment where bacteria and fungi can break down organic material into nutrient-rich humus. To do this, you’ll need brown materials (like dry leaves) and green materials (like grass clippings).

You’ll also need:

• A shovel or pitchfork for turning the pile
• A wheelbarrow or trolley to move the compost when it’s ready to be used on your vegetable garden – this is optional but very useful if you have one lying around!
• A water sprayer or watering can, if needed

The best organic fertilisers for your garden are ones that you create yourself.

Composting is a great way to recycle kitchen scraps instead of adding them to landfill or sending them to the rubbish tip. It’s also a wonderful way to turn waste into something useful for your garden and houseplants.

There are many different types of composting, but the most basic method involves covering your organic materials with soil to create anaerobic conditions that help break down the material faster.

You can make your own organic fertiliser from tea bags, banana peels, coffee grounds and egg shells.

• Tea bags: Put a used tea bag in a container of soil or compost and leave it for a few months. The nitrogen from the tannins in the tea leaves will help to improve the texture of your soil while also acting as an insect repellent.
• Banana peels: Rubbing a banana peel on your plants will give them some potassium and magnesium (which are both minerals). You can also throw them into your compost bin if you’re not using them right away; they will break down quickly there too!
