If you are an avid banana eater, you can have a large number of banana peels. Instead of throwing them away or using them all for compost, you can turn them into a fertilizer rich in potassium and phosphorus.
Steps
Step 1. Arrange the banana peels on a baking sheet and put them in the oven
Turn the outer side of the skins down to prevent them from sticking to the pan
Step 2. Place the pan in the oven while cooking other foods
Save energy by using the oven for a double purpose. Don't just turn it on to roast the banana peels, place the pan in the oven and wait for the next recipe to cook before turning it on
Step 3. Let the banana peels cool, then break them into small pieces and store them in an airtight container
Step 4. Use them as a fertilizer
Spread banana peels in houseplant soil and in the garden. Cooked banana peels will rot and fertilize the soil and plants.
Advice
- Use an old grinder or blender to shred the peels.
- For a healthier result, buy organic bananas.
- Use other ingredients to fertilize your plants in a varied and comprehensive way.
- Store your plants in a greenhouse.
