Banana Peel for Your Roses

July 8, 2014

 
 

   On Pinterest, a pinner reported that cutting up a banana peel and tossing it at the base of your rose bushes was good for your roses.  Since they decompose rapidly, banana peels quickly release beneficial minerals such as potassium, sulfur, calcium, magnesium, trace elements and phosphates into the soil for roses to enjoy. While bananas don’t supply everything the roses in your garden need for beauty and good health, the nutrients they do supply are an excellent supplement. 

   It’s such an easy thing to do, so I have started this practice in my own garden.  My roses do look very healthy and seem to be blooming really well.  

   As you can see, this hybrid tea, ‘Love’ looks exceptionally beautiful.
