### How It Works
* **Banana peels** supply phosphorus and potassium, essential for flower and fruit development.
* **Eggshells** are a slow-release source of calcium, which helps prevent blossom end rot — a common tomato and pepper problem.
* **Coffee grounds** improve soil structure and provide nitrogen, boosting leaf and stem growth.
* **Wood ash** adds potassium and trace minerals while helping to balance overly acidic soil (use sparingly).

### Application Tips
* Apply early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid evaporation and scorching.
* Water plants after applying the fertilizer to help nutrients absorb into the soil.
* Store any leftover mixture in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

### Bonus: Mulch for Maximum Impact
For best results, follow up with a layer of organic mulch like straw, grass clippings, or shredded leaves. This helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and slowly incorporate organic matter into the soil.
