Usually, I use them in the cooking, but I’ve lately discovered that eggs and bananas may also be very useful in the garden.
It may sound unusual because these are food products, not gardening supplies. They are supposed to be consumed.
But in actuality, eggs and bananas can both do amazing things for plants, and using them doesn’t need you to be an expert gardener with a green thumb.
Many people believe that gardening is a labor-intensive hobby that needs a lot of knowledge. It’s important to understand the individual requirements of each plant to ensure its growth and health, such as the quantity of water or sunlight it needs.
Because I don’t think gardening is my strong suit, I’ve been looking for easy tips that will aid me along the path.
And one of those ploys is this. All you need is a pot, a few eggs, and a bunch of bananas, but it gets millions of views on YouTube.
What therefore makes this gardening tip so well-liked?
As you can imagine, the secret is to produce plants and seedlings as effectively as possible, which is why using eggs and bananas together can be really beneficial.
Eggshells are an affordable substitute for fertilizers. Therefore, you can take advantage of eggshells’ powerful qualities instead of spending a fortune on expensive fertilizers. Rich in calcium and other minerals, eggshells are ideal for plant growing.
But it’s reported that utilizing an entire egg produces even better results. Different chemicals are released during the egg’s decomposition, which keeps the soil from rotting the roots.
Bananas, on the other hand, are packed with nutrients that decompose and release. Particularly banana peels are high in potassium, which is one of the most important nutrients for plants.
So, by burying these food items in the soil alongside your plant, you can make an efficient (and inexpensive!) natural fertilizer.
What you should do is as follows:
Take a pot and add roughly two inches of dirt to it. Put a banana and a raw egg in the middle of the pot, then top it off with more dirt.
After that, put the plant you want in the pot.
The nutrients in the egg and banana will slowly seep into the soil as they break down, giving the plant the nutrition it needs to flourish.
The fact that you can use stale eggs and bananas that would otherwise be thrown away makes this approach even better. Rather of just discarding them, you give them a new purpose—to support the growth and well-being of your plants!
You can see how to produce tomatoes by using eggs and bananas as fertilizers in the video below (or here). Excellent, in my opinion!
I will absolutely give this trick a try. I’m all for natural ways, so using eggs and bananas instead of fertilizers is a huge advantage for me! Not to mention the significant savings that this hack leaves you with due to its cost-effectiveness.
Please feel free to forward this to anyone you know who might find it useful. It’s ideal right now because spring has finally arrived!
Uncovering the Mysteries of the Lake in Oklahoma
Residents of Oklahoma found a mysterious hard sac-like ‘egg’ hanging from the tree roots at the lake, but scientists are now calming the locals, who immediately jumped to conclusions of alien proportions, by explaining that it’s an ancient creature
These creatures have found the right space and environment, so its likely they’ll be around a lot this summer.
Locals in Oklahoma discovered large, jelly-like sacs with a hard exterior hanging from tree roots; they immediately thought the answer was extraterrestrial. Or at least not good news.
But scientists, reassuring the public, have said that the locals in the area got a rare treat – the glimpse of the reproductive system of an ancient animal that’s been around since before the dinosaurs.
Immediately, locals put it up online, and spectators began commenting on the extraterrestrial-looking eggs. But scientists say that the creatures were simple bryozoans. They’ve been around for hundreds of millions of years, before the first dinosaurs roamed the planet. The animals may actually be good news for the lake.
These bizarre creatures are actually hundreds of tiny bryozoans.
Officials reassured the public that the animals are absolutely supposed to be there
Bryozoans clone themselves into large masses to filter tiny particles out of the water for food, cleaning up the lake. The critters normally reside in ponds and lakes. This time, it was found in McGee Creek Reservoir, located on the southwest edge of the Ouachita Mountain Range.
Bryozoan clumps aren’t an egg or just one animal at all. They form this hard shell as they are hundreds of creatures banded together. The pods, known as zooids, are each a fraction of a millimeter long. They lack any respiratory or circulatory systems, but their central nerve ganglion allows the animal to respond to stimuli.
These pods are hanging from tree roots, and actually help clean the lake
The tiny invertebrates possess both male and female reproductive organs, allowing them to self-clone and spread through clumps of cells on the organism known as statoblasts.
Each statoblast can reproduce asexually. They do this by breaking off from a colony, allowing the animal to reproduce rapidly if the space and the weather are suitable. The animals eat phytoplankton and bacteria lurking in water.

Fossil records suggest they may have evolved from an ancient marine worm. Their grandparents, ancient bryozoans, date back as far as 470 million years. For perspective, dinosaurs came around 245 million years ago.
The Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation (ODWC) shared the photos on social media. “What is that??? If you’re out boating somewhere like McGee Creek Reservoir you may notice these strange jelly-like balls hanging from submerged tree limbs,” begins the post.
“These are Bryozoans, and they’ll likely show up in large numbers this summer. Don’t be alarmed these microorganisms are native and are of no danger to you or wildlife. In fact, they are an indicator of good environmental quality and clear water!”
