Banana Peels in Hummingbird Garden?
-
Douglas Hunt on Mar 19, 2013Putting out banana peels and overripe fruit gets the seal of approval from Texas A&M, Robyn. The point is to attract fruit flies, which provide important protein for the hummingbird's diet, so you may not want to put them right outside your back door.Helpful Reply

Robyn on Mar 19, 2013Wow everyone you are so helpful, thank you so much. I will definitely try this. And that was a great article in the link! I will save that. So, if the feeder is the bar and the compost pile is the dining room, then I am the chief cook and bottle washer, which I already suspected ;).Helpful Reply
