What zone are you in?
Depends where you live? Are they new or being relocated?
Best thing.....save egg shells and let banana peels dry out. Put in blender when fully dried. Sprinkle powder whenever you like around bushes. You can also use an empty disposable gallon containers from milk or juice. Fill with water egg shells banana peels coffee grounds and toss in garage. Water with it once in awhile. Smells awful so if I use it on potted indoor plants it’s before I’m running errands!
You can add them anytime, the smaller the pieces the better they will break down easier.Put in blender with water grind up & pour around base mix into dirt " it should be noted that fertilizing roses with bananas alone will not be enough".Most compost material is added to soil before winter because the moisture from snow/ice/etc. helps break it down,just depends on where you live,the compost material,and how hot your temps are/get.You'll probably get more freeze/frost so may want to protect new growth,if they get damaged do not trim off dead until it's warm it'll protect itself from additional damage ahead.
