Hello all,
I have heard that banana skins cut up and left in a bottle of water will rot and produce a potassium rich feed which i can give modestly to my basjoo.
Has anyone tried it? It seems to me to be a good idea in principle if I can stomach the cannibalism.
I'd be grateful for anyone's thoughts.
best wishes
Adnan

Just chop up the skins, leaves, and pstem and spread around the mat. ... Hard wood ashes are a good source too.

Add some sugars to it and let it ferment and we'll throw a party.

A number of posts and threads address compost teas and its uses.
And a Youtube search will reveal a trove of information on how to use and make it.
I have made some in the past and it does work.
I think cannibalism is ok as long as you can dip it in ranch dressing.
