Banana Mash for Worm Compost

Banana Mash for Worm Compost

What You Need:

• 1 ripe banana or 1–2 banana peels

• A handful of shredded cardboard or coconut coir

• Optional: A splash of water to soften if too dry

Instructions:

1. Mash the banana or blend with a splash of water to make a thick paste.

2. Mix in shredded cardboard to balance moisture and carbon-to-nitrogen ratio.

3. Let it sit for 12–24 hours to start microbial activity (optional).

4. Bury small amounts (1–2 tablespoons) into one corner of your worm bin.

5. Observe: Worms will gravitate toward it in a few days.

Note: Use sparingly—too much can create bad smells or attract pests.
