Got overripe bananas? Don’t throw them—hang them in your garden instead! 🍌🌿
Here’s why it’s a clever move:
1. Attracts Helpful Insects – The sweet scent draws in pollinators like butterflies and bees, plus garden-friendly bugs like ladybugs.
2. Boosts Your Compost – Once it’s done luring in the good bugs, just toss the banana into your compost pile for rich, fertile soil.
3. Acts as a Natural Fertilizer – As it breaks down, the banana releases nutrients directly into the soil around it.
4. Repels Some Pests – Surprisingly, the strong smell can help keep pests like aphids and gnats at bay.
5. Invites Earthworms – Earthworms love decomposing bananas, and their presence helps aerate and enrich your soil.
Simple, sustainable, and surprisingly effective! 🌼🪱♻️
