hello big smoker,

 

yes i reckon banana peals will attract bugs. especially fruit flies.

 

It might even attract the biggest mongrel in the world...the possum

And believe me, ya don't want one of them critters movin into ya yard.

Possums love buds man!!

 

You'd be far better off putting your scraps together and making a compost heap. In my opinion there is nothing better as a mulch or soil improver than decomposed organic matter. Worms love it

 

I use spent animal manure as a soil improver (plus a few extras), and

sorgham stubble as a mulch. appox 4 inches deep.

 

With mulching, Try and avoid direct contact with the trunk. This can cause trunk rot.

 

Best of luck with ya grow

I use banana peels on my roses, they conatain potassium which the roses love.

I'm not sure that mj needs a potassium boost though.

I have never had problems with bugs or possums though. They rot down pretty quick, but you don't want to risk it with yuor mj unless you are sure.

Yeah, get yourself a small compost heap if your into organics mate, it's much less messy. Or have a good look down the local hardware/garden center and look for a good, soluble organic nutrient. This will give you all the nutrients you want, and you'll know what's in it... (fish emulsions/seaweed extracts/other organic nutrient sources) in NPK exactly.

 

MJ loves potassium btw expansion. It's what's called a "gross feeder" in plant nutrient requirements.

What about the old myth of using bone marow or how ever you spell it!

 

Does that help?

i use banana peels & all the scraps from fruits & veggies. i cut them into little pieces so they break down quicker. No probs at this moment in time.

i was at my dealers house today and him and a few "bigger" dealers/growers were talking about mullimbimby madness and although i have heard many storied and honestly think it was just a really good bush strain from that area, i didnt say nothing and listened in...one guy carried on for about 5 mins about how good tasting it was and another said he even knew a few of the growers and they grew in the banana fields which gave the buds a different colour and taste like bananas...

 

have heard sum shit in my time but i think that almost tops the cake

 

if u want banana tasting buds, cure with a banana skin or u food flavouring, probably ur best bet IMO...
