Don’t throw out banana peels. Here are 12 brilliant ways to reuse them in your garden

Banana peels can be used as a mulch to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Simply lay banana peels flat on the soil surface around plants. As they decompose, they add nutrients to the soil while helping to maintain soil temperature and moisture levels. This method is an easy way to improve soil health and reduce garden maintenance.

Banana peel powder is a concentrated form of nutrients that can be used to amend soil. To make banana peel powder, dry banana peels thoroughly and grind them into a fine powder. This powder can be sprinkled around plants or mixed into the soil to provide a nutrient boost. It’s a versatile and sustainable way to enhance soil fertility.
