I’ve used them for fertilizer! I soak them in water for a few days until the water is foggy and the mix is slightly thickened to make it. I don’t think you have to be very precise about it

You'd be better off with store bought fertilizer that has a better NPK. Peels generally only provide a small amount of K. Long fermentation of them also produce banana worms.

You should throw them in the trash and not use on your plants.
