Eggs and bananas are staples in my kitchen, but I’ve recently learned that they’re also fantastic in the garden.
Given that these items are meant for human consumption and not as gardening tools, it might seem strange.
But in reality, you don’t need to be a talented gardener with a green thumb to use bananas and eggs to benefit plants.
Many individuals think that gardening is a labor-intensive activity requiring a high level of skill. Knowing what each specific plant requires to grow and thrive, such as how much light or water it requires, is important.
Put an egg and a banana in your garden to give your plants a boost.
Due to the fact that I don’t think of myself as particularly adept at gardening, I’ve been looking for simple advice that can help.
One of those ruses, according to Wikipedia Commons. Even though all you need is a pot, some eggs, and a lot of bananas, it has received millions of views on YouTube. Eggs and bananas can be used to great effect because they are excellent plant and seedling growers, which is the trick, as you might imagine. What accounts for the popularity of this gardening trick?

Eggshells cost less than fertilizers, according to Flickr user Ian Radic. Therefore, rather than wasting all of your money on pricey fertilizers, you can fertilize your plants using eggshells, which are rich in calcium and other minerals and ideal for plant cultivation. It is said that using a whole egg will yield even better results. When the egg decomposes, several chemicals are released that prevent soil root rot. Bananas do, however, release a variety of nutrients as they rot. Banana peels in particular are high in potassium, one of the nutrients that plants require the most. You can therefore create an effective (and inexpensive! ), natural fertilizer by burying these foodstuffs in the soil alongside your plant.
As instructed by Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) on YouTube, take a pot and fill it with roughly 2 inches of soil. In the middle of the pot, add a raw egg, a banana, and more soil. Put your selected plant in the pot next. The nutrients in the egg and banana will gradually be released into the soil as they decompose, feeding the plant as it grows. Even better, by using this trick, you can reuse expired produce like stale eggs and bananas that would normally be thrown out. You avoid simply throwing them in the trash by giving them a new use—helping your plants grow and flourish.
Plants will grow more quickly if you bury an egg and a banana in your garden.

I’ll undoubtedly try out this ploy. I prefer all-natural methods, so I would much rather use fertilizers than eggs and bananas, not to mention the significant amount of money you will save as a result of this hack’s cost-effectiveness. If you know someone who would appreciate this, please let them know. Particularly now that spring has arrived, it is ideal.
