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.
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.
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. 😅
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.
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
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.
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😢
I sprinkled rosemary in my plants at first sign of bugs flying around. They didappeared and I haven't seen any since. That was 3 months ago. I think I'll add more after the banana tea is added.
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?
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.
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.
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.
@@dfaison12 It has negative impact when I used banana peed liquid fertilizer in my flower plant even in ratio of 1:8. The leafs suddenly turned into yellow.
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.
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.
Hi there, Fermentation causes the extraction of essential nutrients from the organic matter like fruits or leaves etc. using the beneficial bacteria to act on them. Just like FFJ fertilizers. Subhash Palekar Jeevamruth is also based on fermentation of ingredients that is added in the solution. The liquid fertilizer obtained from this method is highly nutritious and concentrated which must be diluted properly and used as a fertilizer for plants. Whereas the banana liquid made by soaking some banana peels in water does not contain anything other than sweet water with a combination of good/bad bacteria. Please stay tuned for my upcoming video on FFJ fertilizers where I have mentioned more about them.
How about using banana tea for outdoor plants in he garden.. Gnats should not become problem since they would be confined outdoors. I use all my fruit & veggie peelings in my trench composting in the garden to enrich the soil prior to plan my garden. I, in fact, include all my weeds in the trench composting since once they are buried, everything dies due to lack of sunlight to produce photosynthesis.
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?
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 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.
I just dug trenches in my garden last week around my pumpkins. I poured blended Bananas in the bottom, layered with whole banana peel, added powdered egg shells, topped with bunny poo and hay, covered with dirt. Do I leave it or disrupt the roots again and get it out?
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?
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.
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.
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 😊👍
Good information.. but there are so many videos say it is helpful.. I do not disagree with you, I would like to know if you have experience the same or experimented the same. Also, do you say the above based on your educational background? I have been doing all the things as you mentioned not to do and I see a lot of fungus and bacterial diseases on my plants.. doo you have any suggestions on how to get rid of the diseases or make plant robust to fight against them? What are your thoughts of using rice water/butter milk/hydrogen peroxide/baking soda? I would love to get your thoughts about the same.. thank you
Hi there, This video is purely based on my personal experience. Just like your plants, my plants also developed fungus gnats and other diseases. That is when I did some research on banana peel solution. I tried a lot of remedial measures such as hydrogen peroxide, baking soda. But the best one was Diatomaceous Earth. It really helped me to get rid of all the gnats.
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.
Can we use potato peel liquid or beetroot juice in plants? or it's also harmful for plants? Please guide for making homemade organic fertilizer for potassium
You can try fermented fruit fertilizer if you want to a homemade organic fertilizer. It is better than normal juices. you can add any type of fruit or vegetable to make this fertilizer. But you must consider some important points before using it for your plants. Please check out my video on FFJ fertilizers. ruclips.net/video/L3kCoiVUXWc/видео.html
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.
@@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.
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
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!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Diatomaceous Earth works best for Fungus gnats. I got rid of them from my plants. Just spray it or sprinkle it on top of the soil and also on your pot saucer. Check out my video on Diatomaceous Earth.
@@Homemakr My lemon tree is 2 yrs old now. It caught a cold one night this winter after being left outside. (I usually take the tropical plants inside during winter time) Now it has stopped growing though it didn't die. What shall I do?
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.
Hi there, Thanks for your comment. I think composting the banana peels or sprnkle dry powder form of banana peels would be a better, easy and safe method to use them.

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
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).
Ive never had issue’s with fungus gnats, springtails and mushrooms everywhere yes which are both good signs of healthy soil.
It all depends on your soil microbes.. it more likely to be effective in a farm where bugs are already everywhere anyway.

Better to use dried banana peels powder as it contains more pottassium than raw peels.
I believe its not be banana peel alone but should be prepared together or added into it white vinegar and baking soda

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.

Thank you so much. 🙂
Any kitchen waste have to be dried before using as a natural fertilizer. I use kitchen waste including bananas after composting
You’re right, composting is a great way to make natural fertilizer.
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.
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.
What about boiled banana peel water...
Anyone know if burning bananapeels and using the ash as a fertilizer would work?
But in the pilea video you are recommending banana. Now I am confused
I did the research regarding the same after my plants got infected with fungus gnats. Therefore, thought to share it with everyone.
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.
I have no idea. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome
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.
Harmful effect explanation starts on 3:45
I was thinking to trying banana peales as fertilizer but after watching you video i canceled my program.
Thank you so much for watching.🙏
Banana peel water grows roses and holds flowers longer
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.
Would please suggest how to get rid of gnats? I have so many in my house - I tried spraying with neem oil, soap, & water but it doesn’t work.
Diatomaceous Earth works best for Fungus gnats. I got rid of them from my plants. Just spray it or sprinkle it on top of the soil and also on your pot saucer. Check out my video on Diatomaceous Earth.
@@Homemakr thanks

Need help how to look after lemon tree.
Sure. Please let me know what I can help you with.🙂
@@Homemakr My lemon tree is 2 yrs old now. It caught a cold one night this winter after being left outside. (I usually take the tropical plants inside during winter time) Now it has stopped growing though it didn't die. What shall I do?
Thank you for this information.
My pleasure. Thank you so much for watching.🙂
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. ☺
Lo and behold! I just cut banana peeling and soak it in water to water tomorrow. I have a problem with my arum lilies.
Could u soak the peels in vinegar to avoid fungus growth?
Hi there, Thanks for your comment. I think composting the banana peels or sprnkle dry powder form of banana peels would be a better, easy and safe method to use them.
Vinegar WILL kill your plants. Believe me, I did it.
Thank for the info
