Coffee grounds, eggshells, fruit peels, and vegetable scraps can become the perfect elements to fertilize your plants. Another example? Put the bananas on the ground . Let’s see how to do it and why it is good for our plants and is extremely easy to use since it does not require macerations or mixtures that can take up time and effort.

How to do

The banana is a fruit that is easy to find in our kitchens. It will not be difficult, therefore, to take a whole one and put it on the ground. Practically, let’s see what needs to be done.

Whether you have a small garden in the ground or plants in pots , you need to make a hole in the soil or the pot. At this point, it will be necessary to insert the banana into the ground, inside the hole you just made. At this point, you will have to wait a bit.

In fact, a few days will be enough for the banana to begin to decompose. With decomposition, it will release nutrients into the soil that will be slowly absorbed by the soil and plant. Your vegetables, thanks to this natural fertilizer, will be able to grow healthy and strong.

In fact, bananas are very rich in potassium and can enrich the defense system of plants, preventing them from falling victim to diseases or parasites. Furthermore, the banana in the ground, placed whole, will allow the plant to have nourished roots, preventing it from withering and protecting it from both the cold and prolonged periods of drought.

In the case of fruit plants, the banana stimulates the production of higher quality fruits; In the case of flowering plants, however, it stimulates flowering.

In addition to the whole banana, you can also use banana peels, previously left to marinate in a glass jar with water.
