Besides eggshells what else can I use?

What else can I use for nutrients and stuff that I can find here in my house or outside?

All types of stuff. If your making a compost pile, make sure you stir it every once in a while, it will help break it down. I have eggshells, strawberries, leaves, lawn clippings, saw dust, bannana peals. Can't remember everything

Thanks I didn't know you could use that.

on top of the soil or you work it in?

its a compost pile. I make my own soil.


Sometimes I take a scoop of it and add it into my regular soil. Because mine is more acidic than the soil I usually use.

Also I read newspaper is good as well.

You can take like a sheet and put it underneath the soil at different levels. So like soil/newspaper/soil/newspaper. and when it breaks down it is suppose to be good.

what about ash from your fire I have a stove and a big bucket of ashes, maybe i misinterpreted someone?

In a small container garden the ph change can be quite drastic. Check... Using fireplace ashes in your garden

mollasses is an obvious one adds carbs (sugars) to any grow.

Youll have to really do some research if you want to do your own composting don't just throw your scraps in a pot and call it soil, composting takes time and care.
