Stop Throwing Out Banana Peels. Here Are 8 Effective Ways to Use Them in The Garden

You know all those banana peels you’ve been throwing away? Well, there are actually some useful ways to reuse those soft shells!

If you live in a banana eating household you probably throw dozen of these away every couple of weeks. Stop wasting the banana peels and start using them to help boost your garden’s health and nutrients. It’s easy, free and something you do year-round.

Here are some of the uses:

1. Banana peel tea

You should take your old banana peel, stick it in a jar filled with water for two days, and then pour it over your plants. The nutrients from this ‘tea’ invigorate your plants and give them the added boost.

2. Plant them directly in your garden

For this one, you can use ‘fresh’ peels, or even the peels from your banana peel tea . Simply cut up the peel into 1/4 inch pieces then place them either below your plants before you plant them just below the surface.

By cutting up the peel, you start the decomposing process — and as this plant decays, it is going to release some great vitamins and nutrients for your new plants.

3. Toss banana peels in the compost

Often, banana peels are what sparks the idea for a compost pile for people. Start with your banana peels then start adding all your other scraps to create some super-rich compost.

4. Dry and ground up for fertilizer

You can also dry out your peels, ground them up, and sprinkle this nutrient-rich powder in the soil, before planting or on top of the plant for an added boost of power.

5. Simply plant the whole peel

This is probably the most obvious option, but it works great. Dig a trench about four or more inches deep, lay your peel out flat, then fill it up a bit with dirt and plant your seeds.

6. Fertilizer spray

It’s pretty much a banana peel spray but with an added kick. Use eggshells for a calcium boost and Epsom salt for magnesium, then put it all in a spray bottle and use it to give your well-established garden and house plants a little vitamin boost when needed.

7. Insect trap

Soak a cut up banana peel with apple cider vinegar and place it in a plastic container with holes on top — just big enough to let a bug inside. The smell will draw them in but the solution will trap them.

8. Banana vinegar

Once again, while this might sound odd, this isn’t going to be something you ingest yourself. But, your acidic soil-loving plants like blueberries are going to crave this stuff.
