The content creator (@slorbz_official) revealed the gardening hack to her TikTok followers.
“Next time you eat a banana, save the peel,” she advised, enjoying the fruit and setting the peel aside for later.
After removing the sticker, she placed the banana peel in a pitcher filled with water.
She explained that the leftover potassium in the peel will enrich the water as it sits.
“Let it sit overnight and the potassium from the peel will seep into the water,” she said.
A few hours later, she had a solution that was perfect for watering her plants, at very little out-of-pocket cost.
“The next morning, just remove the peel, and ta-da! Free and organic plant food,” she said.
“Easy peasy, your plants will love it,” she added.
Other gardeners have taken to the platform to share their advice for novice and budget plant enthusiasts.
One woman, Ellie, revealed that she often visits her local coffee shops, such as Starbucks, for free compost.
“They give away free coffee grounds usually and you can add that to your compost to make a better environment for certain plants,” she said.
She also suggested hitting up your local library, which often has a seed bank to help budding gardeners start their gardens.
