Default Rotting Banana mixed into soil

Just a silly thought turned question. Where I live the soil is empty of
almost everything plants need to grow. I was thinking about nothing as I
went to get a banana from the kitchen.

The banana's are nicely ripe. The thought popped into my head that
instead of throwing over ripe bananas away I could peel them and mix the
mush into soil around plants and bushes? Any thoughts or experience doing
this? tia.


Bananas do not compost well, mostly they rot/ferment and stink... over
ripe bananas are good for baking (banana bread/muffins), over ripe
bananas can be frozen for delicious snacks... also bananas make great
dildos.
