Your garden will love my Witch’s Brew….
1. Start with your cauldron (or soup pot😉) full of water.
2. Add in a bunch of banana peels.
3. Bring to a boil and let it brew for awhile.
4. Cackle as you cook. 🧙♀️
5. Then cool, straining out the banana peels.
6. Once cool, pour lovingly by the cupful at the base of your plants in the garden for a potassium boost.
7. Enjoy a bountiful harvest of veggies!
Helpful hint: I keep a bag going in the freezer to toss in my banana peels until I’m ready to make my witch’s brew. That way you don’t have to eat a ton of them at once and it builds up your stash over time! 🍌
