I've used banana peels for potassium enrichment before but never for aphids. How exciting! I will try it today. The garlic is working well to repel the aphids, but we are having consistent (thankfully) rain. This washes the solution off and here they come again. Our ladybugs are now out in full force and they are doing a lot to help. -Breann What a helpful and easy solution. I’ve used banana peels for potassium enrichment before but never for aphids.

The pests do not like the potassium in the peels. An easy way to help control these pests is to place banana peels around the base of the plants.
