I add in banana peel, coffee grinds & egg shells to everything I plant and every thing thrives. I have not tried this with boysenberries as of yet, but it works with pretty much all else. See my post...# Secrets to a lush & lovely garden for more details. Thx for your comment & good luck!

  @Kelly@mysoulfulhome I save coffee grounds & eggshell for my veggie garden & acid loving plants but I've never tried them on the berries. Have used banana peel on roses but that's all....are they high in potassium like the fruit part that you eat? If so they would promote heavier blossoming & more fruit I'd think. Hmmmmm......food for thought! thanx.

Clever girl...food for thought! Let me know how it goes. My citrus like bananas. My kids don't but my plants do!
