Nontoxic Banana Peel Fertilizer
Did you know that you can use your banana peels to treat your garden to the nutrients it deserves and desperately needs?!
Yep.
Banana peels contain 42% potassium, one of the top three macronutrients that most plants need. Nitrogen and phosphorous are the other two important macronutrients. Banana peels don’t contain any nitrogen though, so they make a great fertilizer for tomatoes and peppers which don’t need a lot of nitrogen.
BANANA PEEL FERTILIZER:
Gather:
- banana peels
- quart or half gallon mason jars
- water
Add 2 banana peels to each quart jar or 4 banana peels if you’re using half gallon jars. Fill the jars with water and seal securely. Allow mixture to rest for about a week before using it to fertilize your potassium-craving indoor or outdoor plants.
