3. Get rid of the aphids
If pests start appearing in your garden, itβs best to address them quickly and naturally. Dig a hole about 2.5 centimeters deep near your plants and place 2-3 banana peels inside it. Aphids and ants are attracted to the potassium in the banana peels and will opt for them over your plants. To ensure ongoing protection for your garden, repeat this process every two weeks.
