    I keep a covered 5 gallon bucket of water outside with a cloth net bag of banana peels submerged in the water. I keep adding peels to the bag and replenish the water as I use it. Every couple of months I’ll throw the old banana peals into the compost and again add more peels.

    I finally started freezing the peels until I had enough to dehydrate. (Warm air from the dehydrator came in handy when my furnace was on the brink, too.) I cut them in small pieces and dehydrated them on 95°F, so they are still considered raw. Now I plan to powder them in the blender, as well as egg shells, and spread them in my amended beds.

    Been doing this for yrs! During the winter months, just let them dry, then cut them up, and toss in a bucket. Also toss in your broken up eggshells, dried up coffee grounds, hair from your hairbrush(cut it up into small pieces) fingernail clippings...work it all into your dirt in the spring, or put it into the bottoms of pots of anything your growing. I add all this stuff to the garden year round...just make sure to spread it out good, and work it into your dirt! You can also let some of the eggshells float up on the top of the soil to discourage snails and other creepy crawlers from getting on your plants👌

    I oxygenate my water in five gallon buckets by leaving them covered with insect cloth outside and stick two aquarium air stones in there. Plants love it. My friend has larger tubs of 150 gallons each and he puts small sump pumps in them and sends water back and forth through short hoses so water is coming fast and falling a few feet to create good oxygenation. One tub empties into the other .

    Oh yes! I cut up and dry banana peels in a foil tray on the kitchen radiator in winter where they're dry & crispy in no time. Then grind them in my Smoothie Blender (it cuts up ice so I reckoned dried banana peel would be easy peasy), then store it in a Dill pickle jar for using on tomatoes, peppers, courgette etc in powder form. In spring/summer when the radiator isn't on, I do the liquid method and add the concentrated liquid into my water butt, so that when using that water, rather than the hose, banana liquid is being added automatically. And because it's a big water butt (It's actually a big plastic garbage can), the concentrated banana water is well diluted so can be used fairly often without overloading any of the plants with potassium. Or at least that's my reasoning... but - would you say that's okay? Or would that still be overloading a plant with more potassium than it needs? Thanks so much for the video! I was doing it, but I'm never really sure about amounts that are good for plants...
