Banana Peel Liquid Magic
What if you could use banana peels for your home, garden, and more instead of throwing them away? This eco-friendly method uses banana peels’ nutrients and enzymes to replace commercial items. Here’s everything about making and using banana peel liquid.
Recipe for Banana Peel Liquid: Ingredients and Tools:
- As many banana peels as you have
- Clear water
- A huge lidded bottle or jar
- A sieve or tiny mesh
- A spray bottle or liquid container
Method by Step:
- To prepare banana peels, rinse them well to remove dirt and pesticide residues.
- Slice or chop peels to enhance nutrient extraction surface area.
- To soak banana peels, place them in a bottle or jar.
- Leave a little room at the top of the container for shaking.
- Seal the container well.
Sit It:
Let the mixture settle at room temperature for 24-48 hours. This infuses water with peel nutrients.
Shake the container lightly once or twice a day to speed extraction.
To remove solid banana peel bits, pour the liquid into another container after soaking.
Use your banana peel solution from the strained liquid!
Consider storing the liquid in a cold, dark place for usage within a few days.
For longer storage, refrigerate to avoid fermentation.
Banana Peel Liquid uses
1. Plant fertilizer The potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium in banana peel liquid are important for plant growth.
Usage:
Put the liquid directly in your plants’ soil.
It can be diluted 1:1 with water and sprayed on leaves to improve health.
2. Plant Pest Spray The potassium in the drink may discourage insects while nourishing your plants.
To Use: Spray diluted liquid on plant leaves and stems.
Do not spray on hot, bright days to avoid leaf burn.
3. Cleaning Aid Banana peel water’s enzymes clean surfaces gently.
For use, wipe off kitchen appliances, counters, or glass surfaces using the liquid.
Mix the liquid with baking soda for a light abrasive cleaning for stubborn stains.
4. Dishwasher Aid Lightly soiled dishes can be pre-soaked in banana peel water to loosen grease and residue.
To use: Pour liquid into a sink or bowl and soak dishes for 10-15 minutes before washing.
5. Cleaning Produce Fresh produce can be cleaned using banana peel liquid.
To use: Add a cup of liquid to a bowl of clean water.
Soak produce, rub gently, and rinse under running water.
6. Compost-Booster Even after removing nutrients from water, banana peels can be composted.
Instructions: Add strained peels to your compost bin to increase nutritional content.
7. Deodorizer Drains and tiny places can be mildly deodorized with banana peel solutions.
Instructions: Pour liquid down sink or garbage disposal to clean.
Tips for Success
Avoid Overfermentation: If liquid smells sour or pungent, it may have fermented. While okay for fertilizer, it’s not good for cleaning or washing.
Dilution Matters: Dilute liquids before using them on plants or for cleaning to avoid overfeeding or residue.
Use Fresh Peels: For optimal nutrient extraction, use fresh banana peels.
