BANANAS ARE GREAT FOR BEANS! - 13 December 2012

I’ve learnt a very valuable thing today to assist my beans…apparently lots of people all over the country have been having problems with growing beans according to New Zealand gardening guru Tony Murrell.  My mum heard his gardening show on the radio and gave me his tip: cut up banana skins and sprinkle them around your beans.  The potassium in the bananas is really great for helping beans to thrive and grow strong.
I haven’t had much success with my climbing beans so far like other gardeners in this challenge, so I figure I have nothing to lose and have sprinkled lots of banana peels around my beans.  Fingers crossed this helps them to really get growing!  I guess time will tell…but sadly I most likely won’t be able to report on their progress before this challenge closes….  :(
