I love reaping the benefits of the crops I sow and I feel so good because I’m powered by plants! Here’s a tip on how you can repurpose banana peels to make plant fertilizers. It has been reported that plants given banana peel-based treatments frequently grew taller, formed more leaves, or germinated quicker compared to plants grown in untreated soil. This is attributed to the abundant macronutrients in the peels, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and high levels of potassium, which are minerals also used in commercial fertilizer blends. One of the ways banana leftovers can be converted to biofertilizer is by sun drying the peels, then crushing them into a coarse powder, and incorporating that directly into the soil prior to planting. Try it out – your plants will flourish in no time!

“Here we are, sweetheart. Big first day!”
“Mom… this isn’t my school.”
“The sign says nursery.”
“I know. But this is the kind where they raise plants.”
“Are you sure?”
“Pretty sure. My classmates aren’t supposed to come in pots.”
