a few thoughts.

you know those little packets of ketchup, mustard, syrup and hot sauce you have been throwing away.

in my gallon jug of whatever, mainly fish fertilizer, coffee and beer, makes a mix that is potent. putting it around the plants lightly once a week is too much. some plants say OUCH, but not all. i have never over fertilized my bananas before. holes in leaves on some, a little brown edging on the leaves on some, but all in all they have not been hurt. i just slacked off for a month.

the difference between not fertilizing last year and heavy fertilizing this year is a world of difference. my plants this year have jumped remarkably.

i would guess like banana leaves not much. unless you make ash of them, banana leaves [ash] is 1.75/ 0.75/.05

Every little bit helps I suppose especially if it attracts bugs and worms to help compost. I have tons of pill bugs in my yard and around my nanners.

i opened a steel can of olives last night, looked at it and said i wonder.

i found out if you fill the steel can with compost and bury it upright it will give your plant water and as it rusts...iron. i guess those steel cans will not make it to the garbage anymore.

i have also learned that straight coffee out of the pot is a no-no. you have to water it down to a very weak tea.

https://www.icmag.com/threads/fermen...xtracts.90588/
they are making fermented plant extracts

check out this guy dr redhawk's soil series
https://permies.com/wiki/redhawk-soil
he talks about using wood chips and coffee grinds among other things
speaking of starbucks dont know if there is one nearby but they put out huge bags of grinds for people to take free
someone brought some by my place this spring and i added it to my wood chipped areas
