Never plant tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers without this, always give it to the plants…

Weed Suppression:

• Applying a layer of compost to the soil surface acts as a natural mulch, helping to suppress weed growth by blocking sunlight and smothering weed seeds.
• This reduces competition for water and nutrients, enabling tomato, pepper, and cucumber plants to thrive without the interference of weeds.

Recipe for Homemade Compost:

Creating your own compost is a simple and rewarding process. Follow these steps to make nutrient-rich compost at home:

• Ingredients: Gather kitchen scraps (fruit and vegetable peels, coffee grounds, eggshells), yard waste (grass clippings, leaves, small twigs), and plant debris (spent flowers, trimmings from tomato, pepper, and cucumber plants).
• Instructions: Layer the materials in a compost bin or pile, alternating between green (nitrogen-rich) and brown (carbon-rich) materials. Keep the pile moist and aerated by adding water as needed and turning it regularly to facilitate decomposition.
• Result: Over time, the organic materials will break down into dark, crumbly compost with an earthy aroma, ready to enrich your garden soil and nourish your plants.

Compost is an indispensable ally in the garden, especially when it comes to cultivating thriving tomato, pepper, and cucumber plants.

By enriching the soil with essential nutrients, improving soil structure, fostering beneficial microbial activity, and suppressing weeds, compost sets the stage for healthy, productive plants and abundant harvests. So, remember to incorporate natural compost into your gardening routine—it’s the key to unlocking the full potential of your garden and enjoying a bountiful harvest of homegrown goodness.
