Step-by-Step

Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix.
That’s it!

You can use a minimum of 1 cup used coffee grounds or more! We recommend saving them up for a week and using the same amount of the other ingredients.

Conclusion

This is a safe, environmentally friendly seed fertilizer. It promotes the recycling of food waste and helps give your seeds the nutrients they need to grow big and strong! We suggest using the fertilizer outside, as it does contain egg, but if you add more coffee grounds there is no smell other than the delicious coffee smell!

Extra Credit

Try making this along with our egg planter! It’s a great way to use all parts of an egg and you can use discarded Easter egg shells for a more festive garden. Get creative!
