10 Ways to Use Banana Peels in the Garden!

 

 

  1. Homemade fertilizer
    Banana peels contain nutrients that are essential for plant growth. They can strengthen plant roots and promote healthy plant growth. They also stimulate abundant flowering.
  2. Water retention
    Adding banana peels to the soil or using them as mulch helps to retain moisture in the soil for longer. This is especially useful in the dry season. You don’t have to water the plants as often.
  3. Calcium
    They are a natural source of calcium that prevents the formation of rot when growing tomatoes. Calcium is also very beneficial for strengthening the cellular structures of plants.
  4. Compost
    When you add banana peels to the compost, you speed up the decomposition process. The shells are rich in organic compounds that aid in decomposition. Thanks to them, the compost is rich in nutrients.
  5. Feeding
    earthworms This is a very valuable food for earthworms. When you add them to the soil, you attract earthworms, which help you improve the structure of the soil and help break down other nutrients.

  6. Pest control    They can act as a natural repellent against pests such as aphids. Burying banana peels in the ground or placing them around plants deters pests.
  7. Slowing weed growth They
    can form a barrier against some types of weeds. We can use them with other types of mulch. This prevents the supply of light and prevents the weeds from germinating.
  8. Roses
    need potassium and phosphorus to bloom. If we bury a few skins around the root ball, we promote stronger growth of the shrub and flowering.
  9. Mulching
    They can be used as natural mulch. It is enough to place them around the base of the plants. When the peel decomposes, they provide the soil with nutrients and thus promote fertility.
  10. Banana tea An infusion of banana peels provides the plants with minerals, promotes strong stems and healthy leaves. Put the dried peels in a container of water. Use 1 liter of water for 1-2 bowls. Leave to infuse for 2-3 days. We use the resulting fertilizer for tomatoes, peppers or houseplants.
