If you’re looking for a cost-effective and natural way to fertilize your plants at home, you don’t need to look further than your kitchen. By repurposing banana peels and coffee grounds, you can create a rich, nutrient-packed fertilizer that will help revive even the most neglected plants. This simple and eco-friendly solution is perfect for boosting plant growth without spending money on expensive commercial fertilizers.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Banana peels: Use three peels—ripe, overripe, or green.
Coffee grounds: The used grounds after brewing coffee.
Water: 1 liter of dechlorinated water (leave tap water out for 24–48 hours to remove chlorine).
Steps to Create the Fertilizer
1. Prepare the Banana Peels
Cut the banana peels into smaller pieces. Overripe ones are especially rich in nutrients.
2. Blend the Banana Peels
Place the chopped peels into a blender with 1 liter of dechlorinated water. Blend for 3–5 minutes until smooth.
3. Add Coffee Grounds
Add 3 tablespoons of used coffee grounds. Blend again briefly to mix. The grounds are rich in nitrogen.
4. Strain the Mixture
Use a fine mesh strainer or cloth to separate the liquid from the solids.
5. Store the Fertilizer
Pour the liquid into a container or bottle for easy application.
