This is a great winter project for the DIY enthusiast! Egg shells and banana peels contain calcium, phosphorus, potassium and micro-nutrients that benefit plant vitality, flowering, fruiting and root development. Dry your banana peels and finish the drying process in the oven at 150 degrees F or in the hot sun. Ditto for egg shells. Once the banana peels are very brittle and break, process them in a old coffee grinder. Ditto for the egg shells. The result is a fine ground powder that looks like salt and pepper. Once you have a reasonable volume, mix equal parts of each together in a plastic jar and shake. You now have a DIY fertilizer that can be used when planting your tomato plants in the spring! Mix 2-3 tablespoons into each hole when planting your tomatoes! It's free and it works!
