Homemade lawn fertilizer: How banana peels and eggshells can transform your grass

The lawn is an important element of every garden. Like any plant, grass needs proper care and fertilization. One home trick will make the green carpet soft and thick by spring. You need to act already in September.

A well-kept lawn makes our entire garden look much better. It’s worth knowing that you need to take care of the green turf in September, before winter, so that the grass is thick, green, and healthy the following spring. When taking care of the lawn, consider home remedies. This fertilizer can be made by yourself, will cost next to nothing, and the effects will amaze you.

In the fall, you need to prepare the lawn for the winter. Remember that the lawn still needs to be regularly mowed and any weeds that appear should be removed. Other maintenance tasks worth conducting from September to October are aeration and dethatching, which aerate the soil. This makes the grass more resilient. It is also important to use the right fertilizer. This homemade mix is a real hit.

The fertilizer is made from banana peels and eggshells, which are excellent sources of phosphorus, potassium, and other valuable nutrients and minerals. What needs to be done? Simply grind the shells of two or three eggs and dry the finely chopped peel of one banana. Then, mix the two ingredients and spread the fertilizer over the entire lawn.

Ideally, the ground should be slightly damp when you spread the fertilizer. This way, the soil will absorb the vitamins and minerals more quickly and delivered them to the grassroots. Therefore, it’s a good idea to check the weather forecast and apply the fertilizer just before the predicted rain. Spread the mixture and water the grass with a sprinkler if you have a dry fall.
