About Our Products 🌿
Nitrogen drives leafy, vigorous growth and gives plants their rich green color. Our Coffee Grounds nutrient provides approximately 2–3% nitrogen, giving your plants a gentle, steady boost without burning roots.
Calcium strengthens cell walls, supports sturdy stems, and—most importantly—prevents blossom end rot in tomatoes and peppers. Our Crushed Eggshell nutrient provides 36% calcium in a slow-release form that feeds your plants gradually over time.
Apply 2 tablespoons per plant directly to the soil around the base. Work it in lightly and water as usual. Repeat monthly throughout the growing season for best results.

Blossom end rot is caused by calcium deficiency—and our Crushed Eggshell nutrient delivers 36% calcium in a form your soil can absorb over time. Apply monthly starting when you transplant for the strongest prevention. If rot has already appeared, increase application to weekly for one month while removing affected fruit.
Calcium from eggshells is slow-release, so you'll typically notice improvement over 2–4 weeks of consistent use. Nitrogen from coffee grounds can show results in foliage color and vigor within 2–3 weeks. Consistent monthly application delivers the best long-term results.

Currently, the packaging used by Kitchen To Garden Co is not recyclable. However, we recognize the importance of sustainable practices and are actively working on developing eco-friendly packaging solutions. Our goal is to introduce recyclable packaging options in the near future to reduce environmental impact while maintaining the quality and safety of our products during shipping. We appreciate our customers’ understanding and commitment to sustainability as we make these improvements.
Sustainability ♻️
Yes. We use kraft paper packaging that is recyclable and chosen specifically to minimize plastic use.
Our products are made entirely from upcycled kitchen scraps that would have gone to landfill. We use minimal, recyclable kraft packaging, produce in small batches, and distribute locally, keeping our footprint light from start to finish.
Small-batch production lets us control quality at every step—from how the eggshells are baked to how the grounds are dried. It also means less energy use, less waste, and a more intentional process. We'd rather make less and do it right than scale up and cut corners.
Absolutely—and we love that. Save your eggshells and coffee grounds, rinse them, and let them dry. If you want to take it further, our products are a great complement to a home composting routine. Reducing what goes to landfill, one kitchen scrap at a time, is exactly what we're about.
