Thanks! I'm learning!!!
Your making me so excited about using this dehydrator I just bought!!!
How long can you leave the peel in water before it goes bad and moldy? And can you still use it when that happens. I left mine alone and forgot about it. It's been over a month. Can it still be used?
So you threw the banana in what other soil? Please. In normal gardening soil to make compost
I saw this on another video but the presenter seemed less thank knowledgeable so I didn't think much of. But you obviously know what you're about so I will definitely do this!
Also, I've watched quite a few of your videos and I'm impressed with your photography skills. It's evident that you put a great deal of effort into framing, colorful juxtaposition, slo-mo, etc in addition to the excellent content. Much appreciated!
My plants have slowed their growth it seems like. I blended my banana peels with water and I'm leaving it in the refrigerator for now. I should've watched this video before I did that, gonna start another one. Thank you for the video.
What if we juice the banana peels turning them into tiny bits with water using a blender or a hand mixer then add it to potted plants? Will that create fungus or infest the soil with unwanted visitors?
Hello sir! Will the liquid form cause fruit flies in indoor plants?
Most gardeners I know either 1- let Mother Nature do all the watering or 2- spray everything with a garden hose for several minutes. I’m sure you have a specific way to water your plants for best results. Please make a video to help us understand how and why for best results.
I keep a covered 5 gallon bucket of water outside with a cloth net bag of banana peels submerged in the water. I keep adding peels to the bag and replenish the water as I use it. Every couple of months I’ll throw the old banana peals into the compost and again add more peels.
How long does the powder last and best storage? TIA
How many litre of water do we add to the solution for foliar spray
Apart from adding to compost I'm afraid you've totally lost me on this one Jeff.
Remember to dechlorinate the water.
Oh yes! I cut up and dry banana peels in a foil tray on the kitchen radiator in winter where they're dry & crispy in no time. Then grind them in my Smoothie Blender (it cuts up ice so I reckoned dried banana peel would be easy peasy), then store it in a Dill pickle jar for using on tomatoes, peppers, courgette etc in powder form. In spring/summer when the radiator isn't on, I do the liquid method and add the concentrated liquid into my water butt, so that when using that water, rather than the hose, banana liquid is being added automatically. And because it's a big water butt (It's actually a big plastic garbage can), the concentrated banana water is well diluted so can be used fairly often without overloading any of the plants with potassium. Or at least that's my reasoning… but – would you say that's okay? Or would that still be overloading a plant with more potassium than it needs? Thanks so much for the video! I was doing it, but I'm never really sure about amounts that are good for plants…
I’m on a roll with you this morning. Making bonemeal now, and texted my friend to pick me up some seaweed….now to put out the word to friends for lots of banana peels!! They love my fruit and veg and happy to contribute!!
I'm new to your group. You are so helpful. Thank you for this wonderful tip.
Does it have to be organic bananas ? What about chemicals bananas are sprayed with – won't they be a problem?
I use the this in my garden. No brainer!
I use banana skin on all my plant i do the soak method and i get great result both on kitchen garden house plant its really works
Well done
This was so useful, thank you very much!
I'm just throwing my banana peels whole under my rasberry bushes just letting the rain "tea" them and hoping for the best. I figure they can "compost" where they lay and let nature take its course. We will see if it's helpful.
This is fanbloodytastic on every level, Superb footage with no annoying background music
I like your foliar feed advice and I will do that . I usually run 4 peels with a quart of water in my vita mix after a week I add it to my plants . Your idea sounds good esp. Foliar feeding and I won't have to use my vita mix .
I love that video
