Even the most neglected vegetable gardens or plants can be given new life by the natural fertilizer that bananas provide for the soil.
Why put a banana in the ground?
Spring brings with it a great deal more garden maintenance than is required throughout the winter. After all, even during the winter, you must continue to tend to your plants and garden. Watering and fertilizing in particular need to be done consistently.
The need for having produced organic products on-site has grown during and after the different lock downs and the start of the epidemic. Apart from being a gratifying and fulfilling hobby, tending to plants and vegetables also has the potential to reduce stress.
By utilizing organic fertilizers that come straight from our kitchen, you may save time, money, and the environment by replacing artificial fertilizers and fertilizers. Eggshells, coffee grinds, fruit peels, and vegetable leftovers can all be used as the ideal fertilizer for your plants. One more instance? Drop the bananas into the ground. Let’s look at how to do it and why it is beneficial to our plants. It is quite simple to use because it doesn’t call for maceration or mixes, which may be laborious and time-consuming.
How to carry out
One fruit that is frequently found in our kitchens is the banana. Therefore, taking one entire and planting it won’t be too tough. In essence, let’s examine what must be done.
You must dig a hole in the ground or in the container if you have potted plants or a tiny garden in the ground. It will now be necessary to place the banana into the hole you just made in the earth. You’re going to have to wait a bit at this point.
The banana will actually start to break down in a few days. It will release nutrients into the soil during its decomposition, which the soil and plant will gradually absorb. This organic fertilizer will enable your vegetables to develop robustly and healthily.
In actuality, bananas are incredibly high in potassium and can strengthen a plant’s defensive mechanism, shielding it from parasites and illness. In addition, if the banana is planted intact in the ground, it will allow the plant to have well-fed roots, which will shield it from the cold and extended dry spells.
Bananas encourage the production of higher-quality fruit in fruit plants, while they encourage flowering in flowering plants.
Banana peels can be used in addition to the entire banana if they are first allowed to macerate in a glass jar with water.
We Cut the Cake at Our Gender Reveal Party, and It Turned Out Black, My MIL, Dressed in Black, Stood Aside and Cried
As Misha and Jerry sliced into the cake at their gender reveal party, expecting to see a telltale blue or pink sponge, they were shocked to find the cake was black inside. As they recovered from the surprise, they finally understood why Jerry’s mother, Nancy, had made such an odd choice—though the reason was even more absurd than they could have imagined.
This was supposed to be one of the happiest moments of our lives. After two years of trying, endless doctor visits, and more tears than I could count, we were finally pregnant. It felt like everything was falling into place, like the universe had finally decided to give us our happily ever after.
“This is it, Misha,” Jerry said to me the night before the party. “We’re finally going to complete our family.”
“I know,” I said, smiling. “I can’t wait for our little one to come and turn our world upside down.”
We wanted to make the gender reveal special, so we decided on a big party. We invited family from both sides, hired a bakery for the cake, and handed the ultrasound results to Jerry’s mom, Nancy. She was thrilled to be in charge.
“I’ve got everything under control, Misha,” Nancy promised. “I’ll take care of the cake and get a special gift for my grandbaby. I just know it’s going to be a girl—I’m ready to spoil her rotten!”
Nancy had been eager to be involved ever since we announced the pregnancy, so it felt good to let her handle the cake. I was grateful she felt included.
As my mom and I set up for the party, the house was transformed into a Pinterest-perfect setting—pink and blue balloons tied to every chair, platters of food arranged on the table, and a banner that read, “He or She? Let’s See!” It was everything I had ever dreamed of.
The final touch was the beautiful white cake at the center of the room, ready for the big reveal. Jerry’s whole family was there—his cousins, brother, aunt—filling the house with excitement and chatter.
When Nancy arrived, I noticed she was dressed all in black. It struck me as strange, but I didn’t think much of it. Maybe she thought black was slimming or elegant. Who knew?
As everyone gathered around the cake, the energy in the room buzzed with anticipation. Phones were out, cameras ready to capture the big moment.
Jerry put his arm around me. “Ready?” he whispered.
“Let’s do this,” I grinned.
The countdown began.
“Three… two… one!”
We cut into the cake, expecting to see pink or blue inside. But when we pulled out the first slice, the room went silent. The cake was pitch black.
Not a hint of pink. Not a touch of blue. Just black.
My heart sank. Was this some kind of joke? No one was laughing. Everyone stood frozen, unsure whether to keep recording or put their phones down.
I glanced at Jerry, who looked just as confused as I felt. Then my eyes landed on Nancy, standing off to the side. She was dressed head to toe in black—black dress, black scarf, black shoes—and now she looked like she was… crying?
“Nancy?” I called out, frowning.
She wiped her eyes with a tissue, her makeup smudging. “I’m so sorry,” she whispered. “I didn’t know what else to do.”
“What do you mean?” I asked, my voice rising. “Why would you order a black cake?”
Jerry stepped in, his confusion turning to frustration. “Mom, what’s going on?”
Nancy dabbed at her eyes, trembling. “It’s not about the cake. It’s what I was told… I couldn’t risk it.”
“What are you talking about?” Jerry asked, his patience wearing thin.
Nancy took a deep breath. “Ten years ago, I visited a fortune teller with my sister. She told me something terrifying—that if my first grandchild was a boy, it would destroy your family, Jerry. And I’d be struck with a terrible illness.”
The room gasped. Jerry’s jaw dropped. “You’ve believed that nonsense for ten years?”
Nancy nodded, wringing her hands. “I know it sounds crazy, but I couldn’t ignore it. She was famous in our town—everyone said her predictions were always right.”
I stared at her, stunned. “So you sabotaged our gender reveal because of a fortune teller?”
Nancy hung her head. “I thought if it was a boy, maybe the black cake would… stop the curse. I even put bay leaves in it, hoping it would change something.”
I pressed my fingers to my temple, trying to process the absurdity. I knew Nancy could be a bit eccentric, but this? This was beyond anything I’d imagined.
Jerry let out a sharp breath. “Mom, you let a con artist control your decisions for ten years?”
Nancy’s lip quivered as she crumbled under the weight of her fear. “I was terrified of losing you. I couldn’t bear the thought that something bad would happen to your family because of me.”
Before anyone could respond, Jerry’s cousin Megan, who had been scrolling through her phone, chimed in.
“Wait, was it J. Morris? That fortune teller?”
