Compostable materials include kitchen scraps other than dairy, greasey and oily, and meat products; and yard wastes such as grass clippings. Banana peels may be included in the compost pile. The breakdown of the peels, and of the other compostable materials, takes anywhere from just under a month to just under a year. For the efficacy and the speed of the process depends upon the meeting of certain levels of air, moisture, and temperature; and upon the regular turning of the pile. When the composting process is complete, the compostable material is unrecognizably broken down into humus, which is dark brown, fresh-smelling, organic matter-rich soil. The compost may be used as mulch, natural fertilizer, and soil amendments.
