Result: When diluted, milk can help treat fungal infections such as powdery mildew. Undiluted milk, however, may encourage bacterial growth, leading to odor and poor plant health.

6. Epsom Salt

Result: Contains magnesium and sulfur, which can enhance growth, particularly in tomatoes and peppers. Use sparingly to prevent  salt buildup in the soil.

7. Banana Peel

Result: Rich in potassium and phosphorus, banana peels can improve soil quality and promote healthy plant growth. Be sure to bury them in the soil to avoid attracting pests.
