1 of 2 Using a Whole Egg and Banana to Fertilize a Tomato: Join Me - The Rusted Garden 2013
Tips, Tricks
Follow me on Instagram for 60 Second or Sow videos and Gardening Tips... https://www.instagram.com/therustedgarden/ An experiment with two of the same heirloom tomatoes. No additional fertilizing. A whole egg and banana is buried in one of the two planting holes. Just like the burying a fish in the planting hole, and egg and banana is suppose to feed the tomato plant. Join me in my experiment. I will post the second part of the video come mid July. *If you don't have the annotation boxes on... the second tomato was damaged by the tail end of a hurricane that came by that summer. High winds snapped it. New to Gardening? Check out my 2nd Gardening YouTube Channel dedicated to New Gardeners. The videos are longer and more detailed.

Hi Gary! Did you ever do a part 2 on the banana and egg? I cannot seem to find it in your library. Thanks, Steve
-
Thank you for the knowledge Gary and i will practise it as soon as possible..GBU..

Nothing happens to the plants

How do we know if it worked???
-
?Does it really work using this method? It does make some sense. Banana has Potassium. The Egg shells, which Tomato grower used to provide their Tomatoes Calcium. These are two ingredients that YouTubers experts said to use for planting Tomato. Thus, I think it will work. The peels of the Bananas are natural compost ingredient. The Egg Yolk and White will also be the ingredients that will rodent into compost. Green Bananas and fresh raw Eggs are used to prolong the time. They will slowly decompose and feeds the Tomatoes.

Interesting theory

Interesting video! Did you know that if you have a stag-horn fern the best way to get luxuriant growth is to tuck a ripe banana into its "cup" and you'll be amazed at the result.
-
Interesting theory, looking forward to seeing the follow up. I do use eggshell and banana peel in my garden.

Native Americans never actually buried fish. Squanto taught the pilgrims that technique, but he learned it when he was a slave in Europe, brought over before the pilgrims made it to the new world.

Plant banana tree in Panama. Grow bananas and have some low payed worker harvest them. Ship them to a port to have them transported a few thousand miles by container ship to next port. Load on truck transport a few hundred miles to grocery store. Drive to grocery store buy banana and then put in hole as fertilizer for tomato. Yah, that makes sense real earth friendly to.
-
where's part 2?
-
I'm sure the earth worms loved the banana, at least. It seems to be their favorite food. The worm castings are the best fertilizer, anyway.
-
I've tried this... but it does not compensate for a good tomato feed and / or chicken/horse manure...
-
I don't really see any benefit to using an egg, the Chinese used to bury eggs for a hundred years or so, they just came out of the ground black and hard.
-
so what happen?
-
would have been nice to see video 2 of 2, but can not find it anywhere
-
try using a banana peel in water,let it rot,then use it as a tea,for your plants,or your MJ plants.Or bust up the banana and its peel with a cracked egg,add in veg to rot and make an organic soil you can use as a bottom base for your plants.
