Traditionally, composting requires time and space. With Lomi, you can convert food scraps into nutrient-rich fertilizer, we call it Lomi Earth, in under 24 hours—without smells, pests, or mess.

HOW IT WORKS: Fill the Lomi bucket, add a Lomi Pod, and run the Grow Mode cycle. Mix your Lomi Earth with soil to nourish your plants.

BENEFITS: Lomi Earth is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, and sodium, so it’s ideal for plants. For best results, mix Lomi Earth with soil in a 1:10 ratio.

4. Strengthen your garden with banana peels

Banana peels are an excellent natural fertilizer for your garden, providing a simple, eco-friendly way to strengthen your plants health without chemicals.

HOW IT WORKS: Chop up banana peels and bury them in your vegetable garden, covering them with a thick layer of dirt to prevent pests. For an extra nutrient boost, use compost instead of garden soil to cover the peels.

BENEFITS: Banana peels are rich in potassium, which strengthens plant roots, boosts disease resistance, and improves drought tolerance.

5. Neutralize PH with leftover egg shells

It’s commonly known that the inside of an egg is packed with protein but did you know that its shell is actually a great source of potassium and calcium carbonate?

HOW IT WORKS: Once you have collected 6-12 dried egg shells, grind them into a fine powder using either a mortar and pestle or a food processor. Add a light top-layer of egg shell powder to your plant’s soil.

BENEFITS: If your soil is overly-acidic, calcium in the egg shells will help neutralize its pH level.

FYI: Lomi loves egg shells!
