Haha, you said burying a banana peel will make your bananas taste sweeter. Slip of the tongue 😆. Interesting, I may have to remember this video for next year as I’m already planted. I’ll be eating a lot of bananas 🍌 next spring as I plant around 40- 60 tomato plants each year….. I may turn into a monkey 🐒 Thanks for tips, didn’t know about the deeper planting or the sideways.
I planted mine today, nights in the low 50's in NH. I started them inside way too early so they're huge now and a little root bound. I put in my own worm castings and organic granular fertilizer that breaks down over a few months. I even put dried seaweed powder I made from beach seaweed-don't know if it'll do anything but it made me feel special, lol. I hear seaweed has growth hormones in it and tons of trace minerals, great for compost greens too.
Thank you. Happy gardening.
I put eggs under my tomatoes this yr I throw a banana in there too 🙂
I will to try putting banana peels in the bottom of the hole!
I put 3 or 4 generic tums from $tree in the hole, helps prevent blossom end rot. Gonna try also adding the banana peel. Got a late start this year, gonna plant out my tomatoes today! Thanks for the tip.
You said you were confident in your soil only to put a handful of compost and banana peels in the hole…are you confident or not?? How is that different than a handful of organic nutes?
The banana will become fertilizer
Is you lay the leggy seedling on its side for several days, the tip will naturally grow toward the sun, curving upward, and you don't run the risk of snapping the stem while planting it sideways in a trench.
