Green Tip/s: 

Do you love bananas, but don't know what to do with the peels? Here are some zero-waste hacks you can do instead of throwing them out. 
Banana peels contain lots of nutrients that help nourish almost any kind of plant you may have in your garden or at home. These nutrients include potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and calcium. 

This is a chemical-free fertilizer that comes at no cost with your bananas. 

Here's how!

1. Chop up banana peels into smaller pieces.
2. Toss them into a cup or bowl of water and mix. 
3. Let them soak for at least 3 hours, and then pour the water into your plants.
4. Toss the soaked peels on your compost/soil.
