They are supposed to be really good for tomato and rose plants. It has been not recommended, but I myself have cut 'em up and experimented with it, and it seems to work just find. I do know that egg shells and ice, either by themselves or together, sharpen the blades of a garbage disposal quite well, and it helps to do it daily depending on how much you use the garbage disposal.
A banana peel takes about 2-10 days to decompose in water.
Usually 3-4 weeks
It typically takes about 1-2 months for worms to decompose a banana peel, depending on the environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, and the number of worms present. Worms help break down organic matter like banana peels by consuming it and turning it into nutrient-rich compost.
Cutting into small pieces and leaving in a bin or on a pile monitored for specific levels of air, heat, light, micro-organisms, and moisture is the way to decompose a banana peel. It generally takes a month at most.
Decomposed soil.
A banana skin take roughly 3-5 weeks to decompose depending on the circumstances. the banana skin takes so long to decompose as it contains some chemicals that go into the use of making plastics.

The banana decomposes more readily because it is mainly composed of sugars. While the peel is more fibrous and is designed to withstand the elements. The main purpose of a banana is to deliver seeds to the ground and the only way it can do so is to decompose fast so the seeds(which have been bred out of the banana you currently eat) can germinate.
Orange peel is tougher, so it takes longer to break down. As well, citric acid in the peel means that many insects and other decomposers will avoid it.
Potatoes
The skin of a banana is called the peel.
No. The outer skin of a banana is a banana peel and you peel it off.
