Surely a potassium-rich fertiliser like "Toprose" is more

And when Toprose comes wrapped round my fruit, I'll start using
it!
Banana skins rot so quickly, I hardly think there is an
aesthetic
problem with them.

If aesthetics are a problem, why not sprinkle some soil to cover
the
banana
skins - the other good thing of course, is that they're free - or
at
least a
free by-product!

But how much will it cost me in bananas to keep a dozen roses fed
with
banana skins?
And since there are only two persons in this household to do the
consuming, we are likely to get attacks of the squitters.

A banana a day
keeps roses okay
