Garden Hacks

I constantly see articles about using various things in the garden like Baking Soda, Epsom Salt, Hydrogen Peroxide. Eggshells, and others. 

What do you use, in addition to organic fertilizer, in the garden?

Eggshells work great to stop blossom rot on tomatoes.  I put it down every year, crushed up around the base of the plant.  I'm told the calcium helps out.

Big mistake I made last year. Put trout heads under/by each tomato plant. All were dug up that night. Put out the trap and caught a racoon the next day. I won't put fish in the garden again.

I make a banana skin “tea” and pour that around my tomatoes.

I do too. Can only guess how much good it does but it's a good way to use the skins. I don't see any negative effects so WTH.
