Bananas Contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.  Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.   No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.  But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit.  It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Super Simple Backyard Composting Instructions:

leaves, grass ,  wood scraps      +       food scraps 

'dust' new food scraps with leaves and grass to decrease fly activity

Heap in a pile and turn over every couple weeks with a shovel or pitch fork.  Continue to add new food scraps, yard clippings daily.

Start a new pile in 4 to 6 months, continue to turn over your old pile every once in a while until it is rich dirt/humus.

Not adding anything to your old pile enables it to break down completely
