Answer by StevenQ
Have you checked for critters? I and several other people near me(SoCal) have been having a problem with small white flies. Try shaking the leaves and see if they start flying around. Check for other bugs too. I got rid of them with some Ortho bug-be-gone.

I had blossom end rot on watermelons last season. Do you think this will
work for watermelons as well?
Great video, Gary. I am learning so much from you!
If I use vinegar to free the calcium in the egg shells will it damage the
potassium from the banana peels?
Great Videos! I’m learning! I also want to know if I could use powdered
milk as the calcium source with the dried pulverized banana peels. How
often could I add this mixture around the base of the tomato plant? Also,
could this mixture be used for other vegetable plants? Which ones?
Thanks!!
Excellent! will try this
Great tips as always Gary. One question. I am very worried about
over-fertilizing. Is this method safe? How often should I fertilize my
tomatoes this way? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the videos Gary, they have been very helpful. What is the best
way to dry the banana peels? In the oven too?
Great video! Thanks for the info
Is there another organic substitute to egg shells? We don’t eat eggs.
Oh yeah, Gary I have one more question. Is miracle grow potting soil
sufficient by itself, or do I need to add peet moss, or other types of
fertilizer as well?
Gary can you use eggshells from boiled eggs or do they have to be raw
eggshells just rinsed out and dried please?
How long did you have peels in oven for?
After the mixture is complete do you just sprinkle it on top of the soil,
or mix it in underneath? How often should I add this mixture? Thx
I have been adding my dried egg shells and banana peals to my compost.. My
mother always put her banana peals on her roses.
how are you , If anyone else wants to grow you own delicious healthy
organic home produce quick it’s worth trying – Banfan Incredible Organic
Miracle (do a google search)? Ive heard some super things about it from my
brother in law – great!
Thank you Gary, for your research and sharing your information for others
to grow better plants.
Thank you for this video! I knew about the banana peals as fertilizer from
another Youtuber who boild the banana peals and makes a fine liquid
fertilizer with them, but I haven’t tried the eggshells yet.
I’m trying to grow tomatoes in pots for the first time ever (since I live
in a small apartment and don’t have a garden to use). When would it be a
good time to add this? Right now, my future tomato plants are just
sprouting from their seeds, so they are in a little plastic cup still. 😛
Thanks for teaching us this and for your potential answer. ;)
great video – thanks – but how do you dry up banana peels – only in the
oven?
oyster shell can be substituted for egg shell and bought at a feed store
What should I use instead of Egg shell?
+Gary Pilarchik Is it necessary to oven dry the shells? Does something
happen at that temp that doesn’t happen in air drying? Thanks. Subscribed
How long did you have peels in oven for?
I’ve been saving & drying my eggshells in a plastic bag…then when I have
a bagful, I pulverize them [dry] in my blender…& add them to a small
pail, until it’s full…However, I feel silly that I’ve been throwing my
banana peels away…I’ll have to begin drying & saving them to chop up in
blender also, for my veggie garden. Thanks for the tip! :)
Great info here.
So, The eggshells @ 175 degrees for about 30 minutes , Is this true?
And the banana peels , what temp and how long on them to dry out in oven?
Thx.
That’s great. I do that with eggshells already but I never knew I could do
that with banana peels.
BTW I throw the banana peels under my plants to keep the aphids away. I can
collect the dry ones and grind them like you did. Thanks again!!
The main reasons why tomatoes have yellow leaves are not enough water or too much water, they could also need some fertilizer. Leaves do die, especially the lower leaves. If the leaves have black spots and or may be sort of wavy, you could have black spot.
Try picking all of the dead leaves off and put them into a trash bag. If more leaves continue to die, and the other plants are just fine, I would just remove the bad plant and cover the dirt with a plastic cloth to kill whatever the disease may be.
