BANANA PEEL FERTILIZER - HARMFUL EFFECTS ON PLANTS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 кві 2022
- Banana Peel Tea is considered to be an excellent homemade fertilizer due to high Potassium content in Bananas. I have seen so much online about banana tea benefits as an organic, home made fertiliser for garden. But In this video, you will learn about the sad truth behind Banana Tea fertilizers and why we should never use this to fertilize plants.

This has not been my personal experience. I have been using banana tea for years. Maybe this comes down to the climate you reside in and the type of plant you are trying to grow. I use natural insect repellent in the form of boiled Neem, so fungus gnats have never been a problem. When I'm in my flowering cycle, banana tea promotes big frosty buds. The nutrient profile in banana tea is excellent.
I watered my Aloe plant, which sustained hail damage, with banana tea and it doubled in size over 1 month. My plant looks fabulous!
If you are supplementing microbes, they will eat the sugars
I have one tomato plant I've been feeding banana juice to and the plant is only 10" tall (like a hanging plant) with over 20 tomatoes fruiting right now. Everyone who sees this plant can't believe how many tomatoes are on it. The only other thing I did was mix in compost when I transplanted it. Either way using left over fruit/veggie scraps has done wonders in my garden. I'm thinking of making a tea with fruit/veggie scraps and feed that to my plants as well.
I usually dry the banana peels and grind them to powder and use as fertilizer
How much quantity do u use for 1 pot????
I do the same, with good results, but I first add the dried banana peel powder to my currently finished compost and let it digest for at least a month. Along with powdered dried eggshells. This is an end of season activity, giving rich compost for seed starting indoors in December.
You just made banana flour 👍
Same
I boil banana peels to release the magnesium. I use this when yellowing of transplants in the garden. I dilute it well, only need it once, haven’t had gnat problems.
Great...👍🙂
Why not just add Epsom salts they’re very cheap
what does your bs claim do? heavy metal tea? unless you grow your own bananas, your making aluminum sulfate dipped tea
This explanation of yours makes everything so clear. I won’t be using banana peels for fertilisation anymore, thank you
Glad it was helpful!
This is such good advice. I followed an individual who said banana water is magic for plants. Well, all I got was swarms of horrifying nats. Im glad I know this was the cause.
Thank you so much. I am glad the video was helpful to you. 🙏🙂
Gnats
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾thank you for this amazing free 🤩 info
Thank you so much.☺
So many Internet "shortcuts" are just reposting what someone else has said. Rarely do you see a side by side comparison. Love this video, thanks!
Thank you so much. I am glad the video was helpful to you. 🙂🙏
Banana peels do work. But should be decomposed properly before using, thru water or mud
But the chemistry you speak with so much confidence is actually senseless. You can say it as your opinion. But when you speak science, please validate its legitimacy. Your audience might actually think that it's true😢
Glad I watched this. I've just made a flask of banana juice. I've had fungus nats in my house and they've driven me mad! Had to chop down all my plants. The banana cocktail can go straight in the bin. I'll stick to rain water. Also never make the mistake of bringing soil from out side into your house. I ended up with thousands of mites crawling around my plants. Never again will I make that mistake!!! Good vid thanks for the knowledge. Good buy rotton banana juice. 😅
Thanks for watching. I am glad the video is helpful to you. 🙂
Maybe one shouldn't use it for house plants?
Boiling the peels for an hour in a pot (on low) releases more nutrients and removes many of the drawbacks (sterilizes it, won't attract gnats etc).
Thank you so much have learnt a new thing.
Thank you so much Bymby. I am glad that the video was helpful to you.☺
Hello. Thank you for the information. I buried one banana in the end of a bed that had corn and green beans growing. The green bean faired way better than the corn. The corn cobs had only a few kernels of corn, the other end of the bed the corn had full kernels of corn. I like the drying idea. Thank you
Thanks for watching and am glad its helpful 😊
The problem might've been the nitrogen if the banana wasn't composted prior to adding to the garden, to my knowledge green beans don't need a lot of nitrogen where as corn does, that's why peas and beans are suggested to grow with corn because they're are nitrogen lockers because they don't use a whole lot.
When something decomposes though, that organic matter takes up a lot of nitrogen, then the nitrogen later gets released with other minerals as the decomposition process is finishing.
If you put the organic matter with the corn seed then the nutrients should start becoming available to the plant as it grows, but do it when the corn is growing past the seedling stage then you might do it harm.
The lack of kernels sounds like a pollination issue, not a nitrogen problem.
@@kdeminck correct
THANK YOU! I just made a container of banana tea. Was going to use it on my container veggies. So glad I stumbled acrioss your video.
Thank you so much for watching. I am glad the video is helpful to you. ☺
Excellent advice. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
Thank you my dear, very instrctive
Thank you so mich for watching..😊
Makes lots of sense. The powder form seems safer. Thanks!
Hi, I hope the video was helpful to you. Thank you for watching.😊
I have no idea. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome
Thank you. Def enjoyed the video.
Thank you😊
Thank you for this information.
My pleasure. Thank you so much for watching.🙂
Thank you for sharing this idea
Thank you so much for watching😊
Hello 👋,
Thank you for your support
Good information! I was just about to use some banana peels on my house plants. So glad I found this video first! You might have saved my houseplants!
Glad it was helpful!
Straight to the point.ty
Thanks for watching.
very informative, thanks n God bless you.
You're most welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much tips.
You most welcome. 🙂
Thank for the info
😮
👍Very informative,thanks 😊
Thank you so much.. 😊
Thank you so much ❤
Thanks for watching.
Thank u Soo much it's vry useful vidio ur information is 💯 correct
Hi Hussna ara, Thank you so much. ☺
Yep! It helped me! Thank you soooo much!!!🙏🏽❤️
Your most welcome.🙏
Like you video. Very informative. Thank you
Thank you so much. 🙂
Thank you! Very informative. I was just in the process of making the tea but hadn’t used it yet.
Glad it was helpful!
Same 😩
Thank you. So helpful to give more of the science behind the do's and don'ts of food waste fertilisers. Another lesson to check all information we get off social media!
Thank you. 🙂
Thank you for sharing. How long it takes before the dried powdery form starts to release the nutrients in the soil that can be absorbed by the roots?
It all depends on your soil microbes.. it more likely to be effective in a farm where bugs are already everywhere anyway.
Thank you so much!
I have few questions: I tried one time on my indoor herbs, orchids and fern, banana tea few weeks ago but I add cinnamon and 1:3 water, it can cost me problems in a future. And can I make dry powder from potatoes peels or it just for banana?
Tnx
Nice information.thanks madam
Welcome :-)
I can’t believe this! I just read about the banana tea a few days ago and I watered my indoor plants with it yesterday 🤦♀️
Hi, I hope the video was helpful for you. Thank you for watching.😊
Good points however the banana tea should not be used at full strength 1/4 cup to a liter of water my plant's love it
Great.👍🙂
This must be what I did wrong. I didn’t dilute it. It was smelly. I think I let it ferment for too long. I only mixed it with water because it smelled. All the leaves at the bottom of my plant turned yellow. My heart broke.
Glad I saw this. I just soaked some banana peels two days ago. Came to open it and I can smell the sweetness and I thought about the amount of nats that would be flying around in my house or outside in my plants. Decided to dump it out. Will try something else.
Thank you so much.🙂
This is not true, my babies loved the banana tea i gave it so idk what she is growing that doesn't like Banana Tea
Thanks for the information. I have just removed banana peels that I put around my plants. This is a lesson that you don't follow everything you hear from people. Practice what your elderly used to grow food in their pieces of land. There were no these many ideas that we have now and their produce would be enormous. Thanks again.
Thank you so much Nomathemba. ☺
Thank you so much for this. Iam a new greenhouse grower and I was going to use banana tea. I'm not now. Thanks
You are so welcome! Thank you
I wanted to comment on here before even getting very far, but she is right! I only use it on my fruits and vegetables (all in ground). Even my avocado tree doesn’t like it yet. And that is in a pot.
Thanks for sharing!
I mainly compost my banana peels and do use some banana peel tea outside. I mix the tea with a water soluble fertilizer, and LABS and drench the roots. I also dry bananas peels and mix with homemade bone meal. I sometimes mix both with alfalfa meal (alfalfa pellets that have been soaked in water and expanded, then dried) to provide N,P, and K.
Sounds good👍🙂
Awesome 👌
that's lots of work for little effects
@@harlzberg6068 no it’s not it’s. Labor of love and when u grow your own medicine nothing is to much work
@@blizzard_of_Za all good, when you do more research, you'll realize, other methods go way further and do more efficient techniques, all while being organic.
Just learned this the hard way. So many gnats! I cannot believe so many people use banana tea and wonder why they don’t have this problem. I cannot stand gnats not to mention they eat the roots
@DejaDrewit, Hi dear. I understand whT you might be going through. Fungus Gnats are annoying creatures. I got rid of them from my plants by using Diatomaceous Earth and bottom watering my plants. Its was really helpful and I got rid of all fungus gnats from all my plants. You can also try it.
I always had a bad problem with gnats, you should try using fabric pots which will almost completely eliminate them along with fly sticks to help
The best compost I ever used was one which I made myself using various fruit and vegetable waste. No weeds in it. It only took a year to rot down in a garden rubbish bin because I cut up any thick stalks such as from broccoli, and even sometimes put some of it in a blender with a little water to add it to the bin. I didn't add any garden worms but am sure they would have helped even more. I only rarely turned over the rotting fruit and veg waste. It's important it hasn't been cooked. It must be raw.
A mix of various seems to be best 😊👍
Thats right 👍... Thank you so much sharing your experience with us. 🙂
What did it rot to? Did you not get maggots? I want to try please
I did the tea for my cannabis plants and they loved it! Buds put on weight. I did it again a few weeks later but left the banana sit in the water for longer. The entire house smelled like rotting banana. I was worried I was introducing fungus and bacteria into my plants. I cut them down 2 weeks later (harvest time) and they finished nicely. No damage. Thanks for the tip on the dry banana. I’ll try that next time. I do think that once the banana powder gets wet, it will attract fungus gnats but I use diatomaceous earth and a few other things to manage the pest population.
Thanks for sharing your experience
To get rid of the gnats , use cinnamon powder to get them out
how did you make your tea , was it with skins or the actual fruit. im just about ot give my outside plants a hit to help bud development
@@NOT_SURE.. use cinnamon and a touch of garlic if you're going to use it outside
highly doubt it, bananas are dipped in aluminum sulfate to ripen, some good heavy metal tea
Thankyou for sharing your information , i have already prepared banana peel tea but i think i will change my plan
I've just prepared some too 🤦🏼♀️
Good video 👍
Thank you!
Thank you for the advice. I have watched so many videos on using fresh banana and orange peels. I was JUST about to soak my peels in water. I will let them dry and make powder instead.
Hi, I hope the video was helpful to you. Thank you for watching.😊
Nice explains...arigatou
You are welcome
Good content
Thank you🙂
How about for seed growth?
😊I would like to know what to put in a compost,for my garden?Thank you for your information about the banana peels
For a healthy compost pile, balance nitrogen-rich green materials (like fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, grass clippings, eggshells, herbivore manure, seaweed, green leaves, plant trimmings, fresh herbs, and spent flowers) with carbon-rich brown materials (such as dry leaves, straw, shredded paper and cardboard, untreated sawdust, dried cornstalks, pine needles, dry grass clippings, nut shells, small twigs, and non-bleached coffee filters). You can also add hair, fur, feathers, natural fibre rags, natural wine corks, vacuum cleaner dust, and dryer lint. Avoid meat, dairy, oils, diseased plants, weeds with seeds, carnivorous pet waste, inorganic materials, treated wood, charcoal ash, and large wood pieces. Regularly turn the pile, keep it moist, and chop materials for faster decomposition.
What do you know of orange peel tea fertilizer? Also Thank you . I was thinking about trying banana peel tea for the first time.
Lucky I watched your video,iwas about to water my plants w/ banana peels tea, no need to follow those info. How about ma'am the moringga leaves tea, is it good fertilizer for the plant?
Hi Raquel, There is no harm in trying moringa leaves water (good for health as well). 👍 Let us know how it went.🙂
Very TRUE,
All my Rose 🌹 plants died after I used BANANA TEA as Fertilizer. 😢
Valuable information. I've heard about using allo vera to make fertilizer,there is one where Neem leaves are used any information on these.
Thank you for the info.Can I ask how about using Fermented Banana Fruit Juice?
Fermented fruit juices are generally beneficial for plants but there are some downsides that needs to be considered before using them. My upcoming video will be talking more about the FFJ's. Stay tuned and Thanks for watching.
Then what should we do for phaphoras?
Thanks for your advice about banana tea,can I you are question here,Ok can you tell me more about Homemade fish liquid fertilizer,any harmful about it,thanks hearing from you
Drying out a banana it doesn’t remove sugar content, does it? Seems like it would just be reconstituted once it gets wet again.
I would like to see you make a video about potato peel water fertilizers if you don't mind. I feel like you would give more information about them than the other videos i've seen about them.
Thanks so much for watching. I am glad the video was helpful to you. Will make a video on potato peels as well.
@@Homemakr, no problem and thank you. I look forward to tuning into the video request.
Can we use Banana peel fertilizer mixing with ash or fungicide
Omg informative video
Thank you so much. I am glad the video was helpful to you. 🙂
Lo and behold! I just cut banana peeling and soak it in water to water tomorrow. I have a problem with my arum lilies.
Please what about plantain peel, can pig also help as fertilizer ?
You are so right. I used it and my tomatoes are dying. I don't know what to do now
Hi Marie, Either rinse the soil well with water or repot your plant in fresh soil and fresh pot. I think that will help and the plant will recover. You can also check the roots for any signs of root rot.
Now I know why my beef steak tomatoes died. Thank you.
So, the issue here is, use banana peel in a proper way.
Thats correct..👍
The most important point made was the Npk difference between the water soluble and the dry. The dry had a higher K of 11.4 % as compared to the water soluble was 6% or less.
Oh God i have already gave the liquid fertilizer to my plants, do i again water the soil thoroughly?
I think the thing to note is that banana peels are usually just thrown away, unlike the other fruits and vegetables you mentioned that are consumed.
Bananas are great especially for fruits and vegetables.. Fresh and don't nees any chemical artificial fertilizer.
just as I thought. beside making banana tea must smell bad just by looking at it anyway. I always keep regrowing onion and garlic. I been trying to find ways to get them to last longer and actually regrow. the best I get was the leafs for 2 or 3 months than just day. my record was 5 months and I almost made a new onion. but my mistake was giving to much water. because the dirt seemed dry when I try to stick my finger in it. but hey I learn and I'm making real good progress. I'm a type that learn on my own. than I check on the net and neighbors to make a comparison.
So,shall i boil banana lwaces and give that water,sir. Thank God,i have collected 10 peels and was ready to apply raw
Anyone know if burning bananapeels and using the ash as a fertilizer would work?
Better to use dried banana peels powder as it contains more pottassium than raw peels.
Madam, Can we use banana peel powder to sugarcane crop?
What about composting the scraps fruit and vegetables and bananas peels and when you pour water in the compost the leagued that drained I use it as fertiliser is that a good way to make plants thrive?
Using Compost water is an effective way of fertilizing as the solid particles of fruits/vegetables have been decomposed by the microbes into smaller particles to release the mineral ions. That water is rich in essential minerals required by the plant.
When banana peels decompose, does the potassium level increase?
What about boiled banana peel water...
The nitrogen argument isn’t the most relevant because nitrogen-rich fertilizers are plentiful in the market. Most gardeners use the potassium to supplement the abundance of nitrogen from other fertilizers.
Also, the other sources of potassium..are also heavy in sugars and carbs.
Other than those points, I found the information helpful. It seems that the dried form is best.
I came across banana tea when looking for easy extractable natural sources of iron. Would you recommend using banana for as iron supplement in early life plant stages? in which form, raw/dried? Or would you recommend looking somewhere else?
Hi there, dried powdered banana peels can be helpful. Compost or manure or worm casting are also beneficial. Blood and bone meal or Alfa alfa meal can also be used.
How much iron contains dried banana peels?
Got it i was about to do that😂...no banana peel what about the egg shell they said it is good for the plants...thank you u save my plant's
Hi there, I have made a video on Egg shells as well. Please feel free to check it out. Thanks for watching. I am glad the video was helpful for you.
Is it good or not??? Hope I didn't kill my weed plant's 😮
👍👍
What about raw banana?
Is it ok to make banana tea with dried peels?
yes
If not banana peels, what natural fertilizer do you recommend ! I myself hate banana peels, but what do you recommend ! Something clean like lemon peels , how about it?
You can use Manure, compost, worm castings, seaweed solution instead of Banana Tea.
Hi. Can I make compost with only banana peel and dried leaves.
Hi Sarina, Yes you can... Thank you so much for watching.😊
There may be a scientific reason why the sugars and carbs in the tea are bad, but not so once dried and powdered, but please tell me why this would be so.
Thank you 💕 was wondering what happened to my princess plants banana 🍌 tea Bock out oxygen in soil 😢😢😮 thanks again
Your most welcome. I am glad the video was helpful to you. Thanks for watching.🙂
My BAD OVER DID IT BANANA 🍌 MADE IT TO TICK AND I BLOCKED OUT OXYGEN
What about cow manure ?
I've been applying banana peel fermented as watering and spray, it works great with my plants and vegies. I don't think so, this video make sense....
So you're saying this just isn't good on its own? I use fermented rice water and fermented potato water but those are high enough K for peppers. I also use bone meal and worm castings for supplements. If you haven't tried the fermented rice water i suggest it. Great microbes and balanced NPK. My leaves the next day are a lush green
The fermentation also keeps pests away. They don't like the alcohol created. And it's a wonderful seed starter. I think with all this, banana tea and dried ground banana for a slow release should be fine.
what other fruits in replace to banana peels that are good t use?
Hi Alberto, you can use Potatoes, Beets, Prunes. These are also rich in Potassium.. Compost is the best way to use veggie scraps for garden. Nutrients get easily absorbed by the plants. Also it does not attract any harmful bacteria and fungus.
@@Homemakr Hi, do you mean the peels of the potato and beetroot peels or leaves, or the whole thing like whole potato cut into bits?
Also can we make tea with the peels of potato and beetroot by soaking in water for few days?
Thanks
Mam, could you please explain me ripen Banana be used for the fertilizer, what is the process n effect using complete ripen Banana.
Hi Lakshmi, You can either put your ripen banana peels in the compost bin or you can dry the peels in the sun and then powder them and use in your garden.
