### 💡 **Pro Tips for Maximum Yield**
* **Start early**: Begin fertilizing when seedlings are 4–6 inches tall.
* **Water consistently**: Tomatoes and peppers love deep, even moisture—avoid letting them dry out.
* **Mulch around plants** to retain moisture and regulate temperature.
* **Rotate crops yearly** to keep soil healthy and nutrient-rich.
* **Supplement with compost** or organic matter for a balanced feeding program.

### 🚫 What to Avoid
* **Don’t overdo it.** Too much potassium can block calcium uptake. Stick to a biweekly schedule.
* **Avoid raw eggshells** directly in soil without crushing or composting—they break down slowly and may attract pests.
* **Keep banana peels buried** or in liquid form—exposed peels can attract insects.
