6. To make a fertilizer in the form of a spray

It is basically a spray of banana peel with an additive. Mix some crushed eggshells with a little epsom salt, to add a little magnesium to the mixture. Use it to give your garden and indoor plants a good vitamin boost.

7. To catch insects

If you are looking for a natural solution to keep insects at bay, this trick is perfect for you. They should soak a banana peel with apple cider vinegar and place it in a plastic container with a perforated lid. The insects are trapped inside, having been attracted by the smells. It is a natural option that does not need chemicals, and is ideal for the health of your garden and your pets.

8. Banana vinegar

It is ideal for any plant that thrives in acidic soils. It is advisable to ferment the banana peels in water, and then use the water that results from the fermentation process to water the plants. Let the water ferment for 4-6 weeks to create its own vinegar.
Banana peels can also be used at home. Here are some tips:

• Use banana peel to heal a wart; it may take 1 or 2 weeks.
• Rub the teeth with the inside of a banana peel to whiten them.
