compost and potting soil = Avocados!

An apartment dwellers guide for substituting a trash can for a compost pot while growing avocados.

10. STOP throwing things away! Or at least try to compost items such as fruit scraps, plant shrubs, eggshells, and seeds, for starters.

9. Buy a HUGE pot.

8. Buy potting soil with worm compost.

7. Buy mesh screen to place on the bottom of pot.

6. Buy pebbles and place on top of the screen.

5. Fill up the  soil halfway in the pot.

6. Throw your fruit seeds in there.  Throw your crush eggshells in there. Throw your plant trimmings in there.

5. And then throw your avocado seeds in there. Press these deep into the soil.

4. Keep the soil on the top surface moist by leaving scraps on the surface.

3. Water it enough so the soil is moist. I don’t water it too much. Just enough so the soil retains the water and no water drains from the bottom.

2. In no time, avocados will sprout.

1. In my one pot, 4 avocado seeds are growing. Can you see them?
