With the increasing awareness of environmental friendliness in agriculture, there is a growing concern about the harmful effects of chemical fertilizers. As a result, alternative methods are being sought that enhance plant growth and improve soil health without harming the environment. This paper discusses waste materials used in daily life, such as banana peels, tea leaves, egg shells, coffee grounds, and other vegetable or fruit residues, which can be easily converted into organic fertilizers. The paper discusses the nutritional value of these materials, such as potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, and calcium, which help in healthy plant growth and root strength. It explains how these materials improve soil microbial activity and help in providing the right amount of nutrients required by plants. In addition, the method of converting waste materials into compost or directly applying them to the soil is also explained in detail. This method not only reduces waste, but also acts as an environmentally friendly and effective method in agriculture, which can prove to be a sustainable and cost-effective alternative for farming. Through this method, it is possible to maintain environmental balance along with agriculture and can be profitable for farmers, which will usher in a new era in agriculture.
