Default Homemade compost?
Hey guys i made my own compost with egg shells, grass, leaves, grapes, blackberries, strawberries, and more this is how i'm feeding my plants cause i don't have money to buy food for them will this help them. and how long until i should give them some? they are just sprouts. I put it in a food processor to make it compost faster (liquifiying it) and put just a little around one plant will this harm my plants? and is this enough nutrients for how long?

Compost is an excellent medium to grow in or add to an existing grow medium, but don't add all the things you're composting to your medium until its actually composted. You don't want decomposing material in your soil it will cause several problems. You want to add everything you're composting to a bin or to a pile and after time under it will be what your after. A dark earthy smelling soil rich in nutrients and goodness. As Mr. Greenthumbs suggested, worms are the way to go. They will aid and quicken the composting and add all sorts of beneficial microbial life to the soil. Do some research on composting and vermicompost/worm castings.

Good luck.

worms can be kinda expensive. last time I bought them they were like $21/lb. If you take good care of them they will multipy and well worth the investment, but for some reason I just keep can't seem to keep them alive.

you should really look into that... a wise old farmer once told me that if a worm wont live/survive in your soil, you shouldnt be growing in it.... i'd wager it to be a problem with ph or aeration...
