A Comprehensive Manual
1. Get the Ingredients Ready
The Water Must Be Dechlorinated: The chlorine in chlorinated water will evaporate after 24 hours of sitting in an open container.
Juice the bananas: In a blender, combine the peeled bananas with one liter of water that is free of chlorine.
Comes Next: Coffee Grounds Throw in three tablespoons of freshly ground coffee. Find a friend or neighbor who enjoys coffee and ask them for some if you run out.
Combine All of the Ingredients: Blend the mixture for about 3 minutes until smooth.
2. Strain the Mixture
Separate the Liquid: Use a strainer to separate the liquid fertilizer from the solid residues. The strained liquid is your nutrient-packed fertilizer.
3. Apply the Fertilizer
Use a Spray Bottle: Pour the liquid into a spray bottle and apply it gently around the soil near your plants. Avoid spraying directly onto leaves to prevent any potential damage.
Bonus Tip: Reuse the Residues
Don’t throw away the leftover solids! These can be mixed directly into the soil for an extra nutrient boost. Simply dig a small hole, bury the residues, and cover them with soil.
In conclusion
Frequency of Use: For maximum results, use this homemade fertilizer once a week.
Important Precaution: Avoid using sweetened coffee grounds, since they could attract ants.
With this simple and eco-friendly fertilizer, your plants will flourish, demonstrating greater growth and vitality. Not only will you save money, but you’ll also help to decreasing waste by repurposing daily kitchen trash.
