Nowadays, people are more concern about organic products in their daily life .Usage of organic products playing a prominent role in agriculture. Here we use egg shells which is rich in calcium along with small amount of protein and other minerals. Reducing kitchen waste is one of the reasons to choose egg shell to use as a natural fertilizer. Powdered the egg shells is used to maximize the absorption of nutrients from the nugget to the plant. Upon it, it also can aid on developing the roots, stems and leaves of the plant to ensure it grows healthily and yield high quality crops. This egg shells will reduce chemical and pesticide usage and the threat of pests. Besides that , we are using charcoal which increases the soil's water-holding capacity and the soil’s density. Charcoal also improves soil structure, and has been proven to reduce soil nutrient leaching and increase crop growth. In addition , we are also using tapioca starch as a thickening agent so that we can mold the dough easily into nugget shape . This shape allows us to apply the nugget on plants without any trouble.
