Default Banana skins - compostible?
In article ,
says...
A friend told me recently that you shouldn't put banana skins into the
compost box, as they take many years to degrade. Was he correct
please? We've been including them for a long time and I'm sure we've
not seen any recognisable ex-bananas in our resultant compost.

[Compostible? Compostable? My OED doesn't tell me.]


I find that they are one of the fastest things to degrade. I
toss in about one per day.
