Gather banana peels from ripe bananas. You can use the peels from fresh bananas or ones you have already eaten.
Slice the banana peels into smaller pieces to make them break down faster and release nutrients.
Put the banana slices in a container like a jar or bucket.
Put the peels in water, making sure they are completely covered.
Close the container and leave the peels in the liquid for about 3 days. This lets the nutrients seep into the water, making a solution full of nutrients.
Remove the peels to get a strong liquid fertilizer.
How to Use Your Banana Peel Fertilizer:
Mix: Before using, mix the fertilizer with water. A usual proportion is mixing 1 part of banana peel fertilizer with 5 parts of water.
Water your plants by pouring the watered-down mixture onto the soil near the plants' base, making sure not to touch the leaves.
How often: Use this banana peel fertilizer every 2-4 weeks while plants are growing for best outcomes.
Soil Incorporation: You can also bury the remaining banana peels in the soil. As they break down, they will slowly release nutrients.
Composting tip: Put banana peels in your compost pile to make it better. Just cut them into small pieces and mix them with other materials that can be composted.
