Today on 19 May 2023, a session was conducted by Eco Club in school where Khushi Agarwal and Anushka of class 9 under the guidance of their teachers Incharge Ms Anju Pandey, Ms Renu Bhargav, Ms Smita Pareek and Ms Anjali Yadav acquainted the students of class VI and Shiksha Kendra with the skill of making banana water for plants, which is an intriguing idea since bananas are one of the most popular fruits in India. But after eating the banana, we are left with the banana peel which, unless it is composted, ends up in the household garbage and eventually in a landfill. Some ideas about re-purposing banana peels have surfaced and one of these ideas includes making banana water from the peels for use as a plant fertilizer. Banana Tea made of the water soaked for 2-3 days with banana peels is a useful and rich source of potassium, nitrogen and other nutrients for plants.
