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. -- Get Credit Where Credit Is Due http://www.cardreport.com/ Credit Tools, Reference, and Forum |

Yes - if it's a bit damp, I'm always amazed how quickly they sometimes disappear just left on the soil surface as mulch around roses etc. You can get left with a little pile of dried up banana stalks Peter |
