To use banana peels, chop them into small pieces and bury them in the soil around the base of plants. Alternatively, you can soak banana peels in water for a few days to create a potassium-rich ‘banana tea’ that can be used as a liquid fertilizer. This natural option is particularly beneficial for flowering and fruiting plants, as potassium supports the development of blooms and fruit.
