TIP #19: Constantly trying to help your indoor plants survive, well, you?!

Constantly trying to help your indoor plants survive, well, you?! Don't throw away your coffee grounds, tea bags or egg shells. Put them in the soil for healthier house plants. You can use them in your vegetable gardens.

Put the eggshells on a paperplate or paper towel and place in microwave for 2-3 minutes. Add the shells, coffee grounds and/or the innards of the used tea bags to a foodprocessor or blender. Grind into a fine powder. Add it to your soil. It's great nutrients and will last you through the winter. Don't forget to water!

Your plants will love the water left over from boiling your eggs or left over tea. Just make sure it's room temp!
