THE FACTS
Buried Banana Peels or Banana Peel Tea
Banana peels are essentially just another form of plant-based organic matter – there’s nothing unique about them
- Banana peels need nitrogen to break down, which means they actually remove nitrogen that plants need for greening.
- Banana peels do contain minerals, especially potassium and magnesium, but potassium and calcium aren’t seriously lacking in garden soils.
The best thing to do with banana peels is add them to regular compost!
