2. The power of banana peel fertilizers
The magic isn’t just in the skin, but specifically in the hard end. Here’s the process and why it’s getting attention:
- Drying Process : Videos have circulated online explaining that after peeling the banana, this stiff end should be kept and allowed to dry. Before placing it in the sun, it is advisable to slice the stem open, revealing the fibers inside. Once exposed to the sun for several hours, these dried banana fibers become a powerful resource for our plants.
- Direct Application : Dried banana fibers, rich in essential nutrients, can be directly incorporated into the soil or sprinkled on top of flowerbeds. They are an exceptional natural fertilizer, ensuring that plants receive not only water but also the intrinsic properties of banana fibers. This double nourishment makes plants robust and dynamic.
- Ecological approach : Using all parts of the banana, especially the peels, promotes sustainable and environmentally friendly gardening. It is a practice that reduces waste and offers an organic and economical solution to feeding plants.
