ReCapsule #2: Soil Fertilizer

Since 8th of March I have been growing baby oranges on my window sill. After a week after the purchase the tree started to wither and I decided to start fertilizing the soil to trigger fast healthy growth. Instead of using chemical fertilizers I went for natural coffee grounds.

As my ReCapsule project #2 I have been extracting coffee grounds from already used Nespresso capsules, collecting them into a bag and fertilizing the soil for my orange tree every second day.



The results were marvelous. After two weeks I started noticing new flowers appearing and my room quickly filled with heavenly smell of orange blossom.

In the end of the day, I not only saved my tree from drying out but also engaged with issues of global importance by preferring a more eco-friendly fertilization.
