As a new plant mom I didn’t realize the importance of fertilizer, and once I did realize how important it was, I hated the price tag. We always try to recycle, reuse, and compost whatever we can. When I saw you could use banana peels for plant fertilizer I had to give it a try. It was the easiest thing to do and it gives your plants great nutrition- all for free! Plus you probably have everything you need already.

What you’ll need:
banana peel
water
Glass jar (we used a mason jar)

Put your banana peel in your jar and fill it up with water. We used plan tap water.

After a few hours the water will start to discolor. We let ours sit for about 24 hours before using it.

After a day had passed, we watered all our plants with it!

Again- it can’t get easier?!
Once we were done, we composted the banana peel and just continued to repeat the process! We’ve been doing this for some time now and our plants are loving it, and if you’ve been here for a while, you know I love a free and easy project.
Try it out and let me know what you think!
