Banana - Eggshell Fertilizer

The best way to care for a garden is by Organic methods of gardening. When using chemicals in our garden, the results might be quicker and easier, but these chemicals cause severe damage to the soil and is harmful to our surroundings. Also, the crops that we grow gets contaminated with these chemicals and in turn harm our body when we consume these vegetables and fruits.

In our garden, we use organic methods of farming an make a few organic mixtures at home.

The banana - eggshell fertilizer is made from banana peels, eggshells, tea leaves and coffee powder. Once it is made, it is allowed to ferment for a day at room temperature before using this mixture for all the flowering plants.
This mixture contains all the nutrients to bring out those beautiful blooms from your flowering plants.

Growing Ginger

Ginger is a rhizhome/ root that is used a lot in Asian cooking. Ginger has a lot of medicinal properties and is used regularly in our kitchen.
A hot cup of Ginger Tea on a cold evening is the best way to soothe your throat.

Ginger rhizhome is usually sown in early fall and harvested in late spring or summer. Ginger takes about 9-10 months to grow. Once harvested, a fresh rhizhome can be re-planted for harvest in the next season.
