Make Fertilizer from Banana Peels

If you eat lots of bananas you end up with lots of banana peels. Instead of throwing them out or even composting all of them you can turn them into a potassium and phosphorus rich fertilizer.

Steps

  1. Place a Renovate Old Tin Trays in the oven and lay banana peels on it.
    • Place the banana peels on the tray with the outer skin facing down so that they don't stick to the tray.
  2. Leave the tray with the banana peels in the oven when you cook other food.
    • Save energy by piggy-backing on your normal oven usage. Don't turn the oven on just to roast the banana peels. Just leave the tray in the oven until you're cooking something else.
  3. After the banana peels are cool, break them up and store them in an airtight container.
  4. Use as a fertilizer. Spread the banana peel mulch around houseplants and garden plants. The cooked peels will fertilize the plants as they break down.

Tips

  • Use an old grinder or blender to grind up the peels.
  • Use other things with the bananas for a variety of fertilizers for your plants.
  • Use organic bananas. You will get a much healthier result.
  • Put your plants in a greenhouse.

Things You'll Need

  • Banana peels (add them to the tray as the bananas are eaten)
  • Tray for the oven
