Default Re: Using bananas as a garbage disposal = super happy bananas

I've been doing this for about 2 yrs as well. I realized bananas need rich soil, the only time that it becomes a detriment to add plant waste is when it's piles and piles of rotting citrus fruit like from a big farm. I add everything and anything too, including guinea pig poop and my urine. I haven't needed to use fertilizers at all this year and this tall namwa mat has the largest rack of bananas we've gotten so far. When I dig into the soil it's full of worms where previously I never saw any night crawlers. SO much better for the environment to not need bags and bags of fertilizer that run off into lakes and streams.
