    Coffee grounds can be used as fertilizer in several ways: 1) Add grounds directly to soil or sprinkle on top as they release nitrogen over time. 2) Make a "coffee ground tea" by steeping grounds in water to use as a liquid fertilizer. 3) Add grounds to worm bins as worms find them nutritious, in moderate amounts to avoid acidity issues.

    Coffee Grounds Fertilizer

    Fertilize With Coffee Grounds

    Add coffee grounds directly to the soil in your garden. You can scratch it into
    the top couple inches of soil, or just sprinkle the grounds on top and leave it
    alone. In smaller amounts, especially when mixed with dry materials, coffee
    grounds will give up their nitrogen. Used coffee grounds are actually nearly
    neutral in pH, so they shouldn't cause concerns about their acidity.

    You can also make coffee ground "tea." Add 2 cups of used coffee grounds to a
    5-gallon bucket of water. Let the "tea" steep for a few hours or overnight. You
    can use this concoction as a liquid fertilizer for garden and container plants. It
    also makes a great foliar feed you can spray directly on the leaves and stems of
    your plants.

    Feed Your Worms

    Add coffee grounds to your worm bin every week or so. Worms love coffee
    grounds. Just don't add too many at once, because the acidity could bother
    your worms. A cup or so of grounds per week for a small worm bin is perfect. In
    addition to using coffee grounds in your worm bin, earthworms in your soil will
    also be more attracted to your garden when you use them mixed with the soil
    as fertilizer.
    Egg Shells Fertilizer

    1
    Save your egg shells. When you use eggs in a meal or for a recipe, save the shells. Crack open your
    raw eggs, rinse the shells with warm water, and let them dry in a sunny pot. Run your finger around
    the inside of the shell when washing it to remove any residue, but try to preserve the membrane. Most
    of the nutrients are in this.

     For best results, plan on using 4 to 5 eggs for each plant you want to fertilize.[1]

    2.
    2
    Crush the eggshells or grind them into a fine powder. You can crush them into flakes using your
    hands or a food processor. You can also grind them into a powder using a mortar and pestle or a
    coffee grinder instead.[2] It is possible to use whole eggshells in your soil, but they will decompose
    much faster if they are crushed or ground into powder.[3]

    3.

    3
    Add a few teaspoons of powdered eggshell into the hole if you are planting a new flower, herb,
    or vegetable.[4][5] Once you have some eggshells in the hole, put the plant inside, and pat the soil
    around it. Putting eggshells directly into the hole with the plant ensures that the plant will get the
    nutrients from the decomposing eggshells.[6]

    4.

    4
    Add crushed eggshells around the base of your plant.[7] You do not need to cover the eggshells
    with soil. As they decompose, they will leach calcium and other nutrients into the soil. This will help
    your plants grow into strong, healthy plants.

    5.
    5
    Mix crushed eggshells directly into potting soil. When you buy plants from the nursery, you will
    need to transplant them outside, or into a new pot. Before you do this, consider mixing a handful of
    crushed eggshells into the soil. Overtime, the eggshells will leach their nutrients into the soil, and help
    the young plants grow into healthy, strong plants.

     If you aren't able to use eggshells right away, you can also crush them and add them to your
    compost bin.
