For flowering, NPK of 10-10-4 so it's low on K. Potassium is the most rare of the NPK.

Banana peels is the only cheap source. NPK of everything website seems to be overloaded this weekend but here's what I found quickly. From; Myths about banana peel

"0.6-0.4-11.5
The NPK value for banana skins is 0.6-0.4-11.5. But this is the value for dried banana skins since all of the above values are calculated on a dry weight basis.
The NPK of fresh banana peels is 1/5 of that, making an NPK of 0.1-0.1-2.3."

Web search for "NPK banana peels". I try to find a few or several sources and go with the most common or average results; https://duckduckgo.com/?q=npk+banana+peels&ia=web

Orioles are nesting in our big Maple right off the kitchen. Such a work of art; like a big hanging basket. There is black Ithaca tail hair, dog hair, string, twine, dried grass and baler twine in there. Hoping to catch a picture of Mama and/or Daddy with the babies, but they're pretty elusive. Both parents tend the young when it comes to Orioles.

Thanks. I have a bottle of 250 capsules 99mg Potassium. Would that help?
