Potassium
Bananas are a great source of potassium for health reasons so does that mean that adding bananas and banana skins increase the potassium level of compost?

There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance. ~ Henry David Thoreau

Re: Potassium
Thanks for that link camprn.
That looks like it's got some really good info in it.
I was just thinking of bananas last night after I got home from work and it just made me wonder about potassium levels in compost.
