Default Burying bananas

My local Food City just tosses old bananas into large boxes next to the shelves, which they just throw away, and I was considering taking it off their hands. Is it a good idea to bury pounds of whole bananas next to banana plants to provide potassium, or will it have adverse affects on the soil?

The reason I ask this is because my Goldfinger made it's first flower and I heard here it's not a good idea to chemically fertilize bananas in Phoenix during flowering because of high soil salinity. Up until now I've been using Espoma Citrus Fertilizer.

Default Re: Burying bananas

I would just throw them in the compost pile.
