Banana Peel Fertilizer for Any Plant | Free and Easy Fertilizer

Ingredients:

• 2-3 banana peels
• 1 liter (4 cups) water
• Optional: Eggshells or used coffee grounds for extra nutrients

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peels:
   • Take 2-3 banana peels and chop them into small pieces. This helps them break down faster and release nutrients more easily.
2. Soak the Peels:
   • Place the chopped banana peels into a container (a mason jar or any clean container works).
   • Pour 1 liter of water over the banana peels.
   • Let the mixture sit for 24-48 hours. This allows the nutrients to leach into the water, creating a nutrient-rich banana peel “tea.”
3. Strain the Liquid:
   • After soaking, strain the liquid into another container, discarding the solids (or you can compost the leftover peels).
4. Apply the Fertilizer:
   • Water your plants with this banana peel tea. It provides them with essential nutrients like potassium, phosphorus, and calcium, promoting healthy growth and vibrant leaves.
   • You can apply this fertilizer once a week.

Optional Extras:

• Eggshells: Crush some clean, dry eggshells and add them to the soil around your plants. They provide calcium and help prevent issues like blossom end rot in tomatoes.
• Used Coffee Grounds: These can be mixed into the soil or sprinkled around the base of plants for an extra nitrogen boost.

This method is eco-friendly, easy, and a great way to recycle kitchen scraps into a natural plant food.
