### **How to Prepare the Fertilizer**

1. **Collect Ingredients:**
Chop one banana peel into small pieces. Crush 2–3 clean, dry eggshells into powder. Gather 2 tablespoons of used coffee grounds.

2. **Combine and Soak:**
Place all ingredients in a jar or bucket. Add 1 liter (about 4 cups) of water.

3. **Let It Steep:**
Allow the mixture to sit for 24–48 hours, stirring occasionally. This process extracts the nutrients into the water, creating a nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer.

4. **Strain and Store:**
Strain the liquid to remove solids. Transfer the liquid fertilizer to a clean bottle for easy use.
