If you eat a banana, don't throw away the peel: your flowers will thank you

Banana is a tasty and nutritious fruit, which, by the way, can be useful not only for humans, but also for plants.

And it is not at all necessary to share the sweet pulp with your “green pets” – for them, the part of the banana that we usually consider garbage is enough: namely, the peel.

This part of the fruit contains a large amount of nutrients, including potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and calcium.

You can simply crush the peel and spread it on the surface of the soil, thus improving the quality of the soil and protecting it from premature moisture loss.

Or you can prepare a liquid for irrigation by cutting the skins and filling them with water.

Leave the resulting mixture for a few days, after which you can safely water the plants from your garden with the infusion.

Finally, there is a third option for using banana peels for the benefit of plants, which is to throw them into a compost pit and wait until they turn into valuable fertilizer.

Use banana peels to feed roses, gladioli, violets, azaleas and ranunculus.
