Don’t throw away your🍌 banana peels straight away, they are actually good for your plants! 🌱 💡Banana peels have a lot of potassium and small amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and magnesium! This is what makes them such a great slow release natural houseplant fertilizer. ✅Another way to use bananas as fertilizer is to either lay strips of the banana peel onto the soil, or cut the peel into bits and mix it in with the soil. When the banana peel decomposes, it releases the nutrients into the soil, making your houseplants VERY happy!! 😊 ❗️Although using banana peels does attract fruit flies, I've heard there is a way around this! ✅Take your banana peels, and let them soak in water for a couple of days. Take your banana peels out of the water and compost them, then water your plants with the banana-soaked water! I've even heard this water won't attract fruit flies and other bugs! Although I can't speak for that, I still need to try this! Are you going to try this? Do you already do this? Tag someone who's trying to reduce waste!
