I love banana peels in the worm bed- but I didn't know they were so good for roses. I have a small yellow rose from my mom who passed almost a year ago, and that is very important for me to keep going. Your tips seem to be so timely for me, besides being useful!
Is the banana peals a one application soaking or will it do multiple times ?
Thanks for sharing. I just planted tomatoes and peppers myself.
Excellent idea , defently going to start this. thanks patara
I've never seen them done this way. I have dried mine and then ground them up and put a some of the ground peel along with some ground egg shells.
This is perfect, Patara! Since I've stopped filling the compost bin (won't plant next year due to the move) I am cringing each time I toss good compost stuff into the trash. This will be really helpful to me, right now!

Thanks for the tip! I had no idea!
You can dry those banana peels with your egg shells and grind it in to a powder and add it to your chicken feed 🙂
Thank you very much for another great idea!
Wow. That is awesome. Thank you for posting that
Just pulled those peels out of the compost bucket, got 3 liter bottles full of peels and water on the counter. Put 3 peels to 3 liters of water. Thanks for the information. My worms will be missing their peels today.
does the color of bannanas matter thanks and God bless
I've chopped my peels into 1/2" strips and planted them with my banana peppers as well. It works too.
patara you have so much important info put it in a booklets we can purchase we can put on
patara. so we can have reference notebook. thanks
Good video and info!
I always cut them up a little bit with scissors and toss them in a blender with distilled/rain water and blend them up. I have a super high powered blender (Ninja) so it dices them super fine. Not totally necessary but it does speed up the leaching process since there’s a higher surface area. And possibly leaches more of the minerals
I put my banana peels in my Nutri Bullet, covered with water and pulsed it into a slurry, then poured it at the base of my tomato plants. Took no time at all for it to leach into the soil!
Can it be used for houseplants ?
This I think will work much better . Take the banana peels and cop them up into small peices and put them in the jar . then add brown sugar and mix thourly . then cover the jar with a coffee filter or towel and secure to the top of the jar . Then let it ferment of 5 to 7 days , then strain out the peels that remain . what is left is banana juice gold . dilute with water and feed to the plants they will love you for it …
I blended the water and the peeles together then jarred it..looked like muddy water within minutes
So can I only do this with spray free bananas? Because otherwise all the chemicals from the banana peel would go into the water, right?
what hapoends. if u leave the banana peels. in the jar for longer like. one year .
Is there any updates to this video? I'm leery on using my banan peels in the garden because of commercial spraying, any suggestions? Thank you!
