Summer residents love bananas not because they contain many substances useful for the body. Banana peels contain a lot of useful substances for seedlings and indoor plants.

If you approach this issue wisely, you can get a striking example of waste-free production.

Here are 4 reasons to stop throwing banana peels in the trash.

1. Compost

This material decomposes perfectly in a compost pit and heap and in just 2-3 months turns into real humus. The main thing is to have enough raw materials, otherwise you will have to compost the peel in separate containers, for example, plastic bottles with a capacity of 5 liters. They pour soil, crushed peel into them, and also add the drug "Kompostar", "Raduga" or "Baikal EM-1". Store the container in a warm place for 1 month, then add the activator again, mix and leave to ripen for another 1-2 months.

2. Growth stimulator

Infusions are prepared from banana peels, which promote seed germination, rooting of seedlings and have a positive effect on young plants.

3. Fertilizers for flowers

Banana peels are crushed and buried near plants, used when planting flowers, replacing soil, and in other cases. The peel decomposes quickly, and therefore is effective as a fertilizer even for indoor plants.

4. Pest control

They say that aphids absolutely cannot stand this smell. To protect plants, you can simply spread it on the bed or prepare an infusion for spraying. By the way, this same infusion will not only scare away the pest, but will also work as a top dressing.
