One of the best ways to improve compost is to add organic waste and food scraps, such as fruit and vegetable pieces. Due to this, many people wonder whether banana peels can go into compost piles or not?

Since banana peel is quite common in our food trash. The simple answer is yes, banana peels can improve composting. However, that doesn’t necessarily mean they should go in there.

Even though they are biodegradable, it’s important to know that banana peel will slow down the composting process. And if it is not done properly banana peel will attract pests and rodents. So what should you do? The fact of the matter is that you don’t necessarily have to throw away your leftover rotting banana peels.
