Question

Ever hear of banana peels in water to fertilize plants. Yes, put a couple banana peels in a mason jar with water. Let it sit room temp for 3-5 days. Then pour only the water, not the peels, for the plants you want fed. It's said to work great for tomatoes.

Answer 1

I've been doing this for years. It does work quite well.

Answer 2

Interesting. Will have to try it.

Answer 3

My banana peels go in my composter or my worm boxes. The worm boxes are in the garden. One way or another all the fruit/veggie scraps end up back in the garden.

Answer 4

The skin I recently learnt has as much nutritional value as the banana flesh. Seemingly because of laziness, habit & stupidity we've been throwing away a large part of the fruit's benefit.

Answer 5

your own personal fruit fly farm...have you named them yet?

Answer 6

Don't do it too often.....over-fertilizing's a bad thing.

Answer 7

Interesting. But why? Potassium?
