What if you found out that you were throwing away the best fertilizer for your garden every day?
Banana peels are not waste, but a storehouse of potassium, phosphorus and calcium, which will make your tomatoes bear fruit until frost.
While you are buying fertilizers in stores, smart gardeners are storing peels in the freezer.
Method one: pour water over the skins and leave for 3 days. Water the seedlings with the resulting infusion - the sprouts will become strong and the roots - powerful.
Option two: Dry the peel in the oven, grind it into powder and add it to the holes when planting. This will protect the plants from pests and give them a supply of nutrients for the entire season.
The third method is for the lazy: bury fresh peels under currant bushes or peppers. The rotting will attract worms, which will loosen the soil and turn the peels into humus.
But remember: too much banana organics can cause overfeeding of plants. Use it selectively, and in a week you will see how the leaves become darker and the ovaries become more abundant.
To enhance the effect, mix banana powder with eggshells - you will get a complex fertilizer against blossom-end rot in tomatoes.
If the infusion of the peel smells unpleasant, add a sprig of mint or cinnamon to it - the smell will disappear, but the beneficial properties will remain.
By the way, you can wipe the leaves of ficuses and orchids with banana water - they will start to shine, like after a store-bought spray.
Scientists have proven that the peel contains lectins that suppress fungal infections. Just spread fresh peels around your roses, and black spot will disappear.
And banana infusion is the secret of huge potato tubers. Water your bushes with it during the flowering period, and your neighbors will beg for your “recipe”.
The main thing is not to use peels from waxed bananas. Soak them in baking soda for 10 minutes to wash off the chemicals before using them.
