Banana peels and Coffee grounds on roses

Trying to save myself misdirected effort, what is NG opinion: Need to scratch in and water coffee grounds? Or bury? Or just leave on surface? Yes, Hypatia , glad to help. You can use as mulch. The only reason to bury it would be to jump-start very bad soil for a garden. Usually, you will bury nitrogen sources, because the proteins breakdown releasing ammonia, which is a gas that will dissolve into water. When apply -- in rose's annual cycle. Ideally, just before it pushes in the spring, when it will need the nutrients the most. But they aren't like nitrogen, that will encourage plants to waste energy pushing green foliage while they should be resting. Or do your's bloom all year round in Santa Monica? Need to cut up or grind up banana peels? Same q. as above. Only if your in a rush. Same q, when apply. Anytime. Their nutrients aren't going anywhere, unless aided by a squirrel, or a bird. TIA for opinion(s) Nichts zu danken. HB -- E Pluribus Unum Know where your money is tonight? It's making the lives of Wall Street Bankers more comfortable.
