Banana skins

Post by Greenfingers »

Does anyone use banana skins as feed? , I have them available as I eat one every day, and it's a shame to waste them.

Making plans with a stoner is like being with a prostitute. They tell you they’re coming, but you know it’s a lie.

I’ve been meaning to make banana tea but I’d definitely only use organic banana peel as they are heavily sprayed.

I agree with you in the heavily sprayed but to be fair even organic ones are same, the funny story is I'm allergic to bananas but only in uk when I go to africa I can eat it all day long without needing epi pen. There are variety there too but I love the small sweet banana lol

I went a little off topic but I would guess using any peals would be fine. (Would guess )

But I definitely know the organic and the normal banana gives me reaction and j believe that they are modified because they don't ripe when left out the skin splits and that's not normal for banana well me a banana lover .

To the op thanks for that I am thinking of using the water butt I have in polly tunnel as a fermenter and use that for my annual veg and fruits..

Any kne know what else to add in or how do you make your organic juice?

as far as I know making LAB helps the breakdown and you can make it free at home :D
