Roasted Banana Peels Added to Soil

Why should we do this?

• It adds phosphorus and potassium which are both very good for plant health.
• For people who have composting restrictions or do not wish to compost, can still help save our landfills trash.
• It is easy and can be fun!

How to do this?

1. Place banana on a tray and put it in the oven.
   
   
   
   
   

   

   

   
   
2. Take the peels out and wait for them to dry.
3. 

   When they’re dry, cut them into smaller pieces and put in soil.
   
4. Use as fertilizer. Spread the banana peel around houseplants and garden plants. The cooked peels will fertilize the plants as they break down.
   
   You don't even have to waste your electricity by starting the oven. When baking cake or cooking some turkey on Thanksgiving, you can easily fit the tray of banana peels on the side and they will roast on their own. I used this method with my plants and it worked very well!
