Just a silly thought turned question. Where I live the soil is empty of

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.

i worm compost veggie and fruit scraps and
that makes great plant food. all banana peels
go in there and the worms take care of them.
it also takes care of all paper scraps we have
so that works great for adding stuff back to
the gardens.

bananas are edible even if the outer peel is
black, many people use them when they get over-
ripe to make banana bread or muffins. i like
using them as a fish sauce, mix with a little
honey, vinegar, ginger and blend until smooth,
but there are other uses (smoothies).

Wow, that sounds interesting. Just to be su this sauce gets poured OVER
the cooked fish? Or? Could use lemon instead of vinegar?
