Instructions:
Prep the materials: Chop the banana peel and eggshell into small pieces.
Blend: Add all ingredients into a blender—banana peel, eggshell, coffee grounds, and water. Blend until smooth.
Ferment (optional): For a stronger mixture, let it sit covered for 24–48 hours in a warm place.
Apply: Pour the fertilizer directly around the base of your cucumber plants every 10–14 days.
Water after applying to help the nutrients reach the roots faster.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Shake or stir before each use to redistribute the solids.
Best applied in the early morning or late evening to prevent leaf burn.
Variations:
Add compost tea instead of water for an extra nutrient boost.
Mix in crushed seaweed if available—it’s rich in trace minerals.
For potted cucumbers, dilute the mixture 1:1 with water before applying.
