That old timer at the nursery swore by banana peels for roses...

After 3 months of trying his method on my yellowing knockout roses I finally admitted it actually greened them up better than my store bought fertilizer.

I've been doing the same thing with crushed eggshells and my tomatoes are beasts this year.

Oh man, that's wild! My mom used to toss eggshells around her tomato plants and I thought she was just being cheap, but those things grew like crazy that year. Maybe there's something to this kitchen scrap garden magic after all.

Cheap is just another word for smart if it works, right? Your mom probably saved a fortune on those fancy calcium supplements from the garden store. Next thing you know she'll be grinding up banana peels for potassium and swearing by coffee grounds for acid-loving plants. Just don't let her start composting fish heads unless you want the whole neighborhood to know it's tomato season.
