Week 1 EOC: New Business Pitch

My new business pitch will be using left over "garbage" as fertilizer for your garden. Coffee grounds are become neutral once used and lose some acidic value. They do still have a purpose and help the garden in several ways as repellents. The caffeine has a negative response to slugs which keeps them away. It is also good for repelling cats and keeping them from using your plants as a litter box. The coffee grounds need to be mixed in with the soil and not just thrown on top for the full affect. Next up are eggshells. After you crack your eggs for your morning breakfast, keep the shells on the side, rinse them off well and let air dry. You then grind them up to a basic powder form. The eggshells contain alot of calcium and help well with tomato plants and the blossom ends from rotting. Banana peels come in handy when it comes to rosebushes. The potassium and nutrients help the roses to bloom and last longer. The peels can also be used as a bug trap by mixing the peels with vinegar and leaving outside for bugs to come towards the trap and get stuck in it.
