Any concerning levels of harmful toxins would have ended up in the sea many years ago :( its just a shame humans make them in the first place. I have swam in that river for more than 10 years, rivers today are actually cleaner than they were 30 years ago!

I took different factors into consideration before I first went picking there, I like to make informed decisions but sometimes it comes down to a simple matter of trust. Like when we buy from a shop (even organic produce) who knows the longer term effects of the agricultural pesticides and fertilizers that may have been used for the sake of making more money. I grow as much as I can for the moment, I feel I'm making the best of my current situation for the next year or two :)

Pop down for a toxic dip sometime :-D

The fruit trees and bushes are high above where any toxic things may have been as it is on a hill next to a big river which I would imagine have drawn any toxins away many years ago.

I'm all for throwing a few skins around some plants if I get the chance but I won't be emptying all my bins in communal areas, that can cause a whole host of problems. Permaculture farming is not currently an option for people living in urban areas.

I picked boxes full of blackberries yesterday from a huge nature reserve in Worcester which is teaming with life ...its on top of an old landfill site mate ;) keep an open mind.

on waste land plants are growing, no?

go to a land fill site. nowt grows there fella.

so no, its not the same.  emagine a world where ppl added to the biological fauna of their enviroment..i do. a lot. it would be an abundance of green thoughout the world uban and non uban areas alike. beautiful. and as everyone isn't even recycling their glass let alone everything elce im fairly confidant that we won't be wading through banana skins any time soon! yet it would help the soil/plants you would be feeding.   putting back to the soil is the very essance of sound environmental practices / permaculture.

I was thinking to mash them together them with all the cardboard boxes I have. Will start with a half and half mixture.

Can you make the bricks from pure banana skins or do you need to mix them with something?
