Thanks, I was thinking of the potassium in bananas, but never heard of anyone mixing them right into the soil. The meal ideas sound great too! I don't add them to my compost pile as I thought the peels were full of insecticide, etc? However it is OK to put them into MUNICIPAL compost. Our city encourages food waste to be deposited in yard waste cans. They responded to my inquiry about meat and fat -- usually a no-no in home compost -- by pointing out that the yard waste cum compost is treated at such a high temperature that it can handle no-nos. The result, BTW, is rich compost that is free to residents on a quarterly basis. People line up in their cars & trucks and load all kind of containers with this fab compost. I am unabashedly sentimental about this community event!! Free municipal compost is as bad as it gets for home gardens... typically rife with chemicals of a carcinogen nature... composed primarilly of brush cleared from along roadways, saturated with traffic exhaust and dumpings of oils and assorted chemicals... seeds and insects is the least of the problems. Never take free municipal mulch either. |
