Using Banana Peels as fertilizer:
Here is another tip that does wonders for your garden is free, good for
the environment and even great for your health as bananas are also good
for you!
First about the nutrients the bananas have that are good for your
and your families health:
Bananas have high potassium to sodium
content and may prevent high blood pressure and its complications, plus
may also prevent renal calcium loss, in effect preventing bone
breakdown. So Bananas taste great, they make great desserts like the
Banana Flambé or the
Crispy Hazelnut Bananas, they
come readily packed from nature and
are one of the top snacks you should place on your shopping list! (For more
details on

here)
Plus here is the bonus that
comes for free:
You can use the banana peels as
fertilizer for your garden (works great for roses but for any
other plant as well!) Bananas are rich in both phosphorus and potassium
which are important macro-nutrients plants need.
How to use the banana peels as
fertilizer? Well nothing easier then that, just cut the peels in slices
and mix them into the fresh soil and your plants will love it!
I have a separate little plastic box
in the refrigerator with a small plastic bag in it where I store the
banana peels until I use them , BTW I also store in there the egg peels
that are rich in calcium and mix the also into the soil with the banana
peels.
So its that easy! And even in the
winter time when the soil is still frozen I collect the banana peels and
just freeze them to use them in the spring and get my plants growing and
blooming in fantastic colors.
