Banana Peels for Roses |
|
|
|
This is an old trick but maybe someone hasn't heard about it yet. I save my banana peel after eating the banana and gently dig out an opening around my roses and place the banana peel, spread out with the inside of the peel facing the ground and cover. It adds potassium to the soil. My roses love it!
Thank you.

Does this work for other plants or just roses?
RE: Banana Peels for Roses
I had heard this before ,but never tried it. This year we have been getting an abundant supply of bannas that are often to ripe to use (they're free) an I just place them around the roses. It is unbelievable how much they have imroved this summer. the bushes had only a leaf here and tere and only one or two .stems. Now they are are putting on new growth and and leaves. The few blooms I have had so far this year have been beautiful. I did buy a bale of hay to cover the bananas rather than dig them in. JAN in NC
For Anyone Who Loves Roses
Don't ever throw your banana peels away, save them to put them in your garden.
We do! My wife loves her rose bushes. Take the peels and bury them skin side up around your Rose bush, not too deep but deep enough so the small animals don't dig them up. You may have to do this more than once, but the more the better. You will see a big difference in your bushes.
I know the season may be over for some but keep it in mind for next year.

Just wanted to let you know I think your roses are beautiful.
Planting Roses Tip
When planting roses, drop a banana peel in the hole first. Save all banana peels and freeze them. Several times a year, chop up a few frozen peels, put in a blender with some water, and then feed all your roses with the concoction. They love it.

Banana Peels for Roses
If you are a gardener, and grow roses, don't throw your banana skins in the compost pile or garbage can.
Instead, bury them just below the surface of the ground at the base of your roses.
Roses utilize potassium very well and banana skins have a lot of potassium in them.
Your roses will love you for it.
Happy gardening!

Grind Up Bananas For Your Roses
Take banana peels and put them around your rose bushes. The aphids will be gone. I take my banana peels, add water, and grind them up in the blender then pour the mixture around the roses. It works like magic.

Feed Your Plants Banana Peels
When you eat bananas, don't throw away the peels. Cut them in pieces strips, or the whole peel. Poke a hole in soil at edge of plant. Put in a piece or two and firm down the soil. Sit back and in a while, you will notice how much different your plants look.

Freeze Banana Peels for Roses
I save my banana peels, ( or yuckie bananas ) and freeze them, when I plant a new rose bush, I plant the banana peels with it. Roses love banana peels.
