NPK Values for banana peels?

Hi to all,

I have been looking on the internet but I cant find N-P-K values for banana peels. I know they have a good amount of phosphorous, Im looking to store up a source for some seedlings which Im trying to sprout in the fridge this Winter.  They always seem to get moldy and die at some point in the process, so Id like to get them in a sterile media when the pop and at the right moment give them some potassium which is usually the first thing they need.  Any banana peel experts out there? Thanks.`

From; Myths about banana peel

"0.6-0.4-11.5
The NPK value for banana skins is 0.6-0.4-11.5. But this is the value for dried banana skins since all of the above values are calculated on a dry weight basis.
The NPK of fresh banana peels is 1/5 of that, making an NPK of 0.1-0.1-2.3."

Look at the NPK. It is very high in potassium relative to nitrogen and phosphate. That is not an ideal ratio for plants.
To compensate for this some people add eggshells! We know eggshells don’t decompose in most soil, and how would adding calcium balance the problem?
This idea probably started because people believe bananas have a high potassium level, and we have the very common myth,
that potassium stimulates roots – which it doesn’t.
From this misinformation it naturally follows that banana peels stimulate roots and flowers on roses?

"Banana peels are just another form of plant-based organic matter. Add them to the compost pile, or spread them on the ground to decompose.
They will add value to both the soil and plants but they are not a superfood."

Don’t get hooked in by all the crazy ideas on the internet.

Three or four years ago, I read here on permies about banana peels. From what I remember it was suggested just burying them in the garden.

That is what I did.  The next year in the spring when I planted the garden, guess what I found?  The same banana peels that were still whole.

I don't feel like my soil gained any benefit from them.

If you want to use them, I would suggest drying them and then put in the blender to turn the peels into a powder.
