A nutrient-rich liquid fertilizer can be easily prepared with banana peels.
Ingredients:
- Banana peels (3–4 peels)
- Water (4–5 cups)
Instructions:
Boil the Peels:
Combine banana peels and water in a pot. Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
Blend and Strain:
Allow the mixture to cool, then blend it until smooth. Strain the liquid using a fine mesh sieve.
Store and Use:
Transfer the liquid fertilizer to a container. Use it to water your plants every two weeks in summer and once a month during winter and fall.
2. Cold Banana Peel Fertilizer
This method is perfect if you’re short on time or prefer a no-heat approach.
Instructions:
Chop banana peels into small pieces.
Submerge the pieces in a jar of water and let them soak for 2–3 days.
Strain the water and use it to water your plants. You can also place the leftover peels in your compost or directly in the soil.
3. Dried Banana Peel Fertilizer
For a long-lasting, slow-release fertilizer, use dried banana peels.
Instructions:
Dry the Peels:
Cut banana peels into small pieces and bake them in the oven at a low temperature until they are blackened and dry.
Grind and Store:
Once cooled, grind the dried peels into a fine powder.
Apply to Soil:
Sprinkle the powder directly onto the soil of your houseplants or mix it into garden soil.
