Live in Cypress Texas.
Since the price of fertilizer has ballooned, and I have quite a few fruit trees in my backyard, I'm trying out creating my own fertilizer (plus my compost piles are lagging behind due to the winter).
I've go the nitrogen portion down. I'm using urine (sounds gross, but its used all throughout the world) which is diluted with water 10-1 ratio.
Potassium I'm using yellow banana peels that I dry out in the sun, then grind to a powder. What I'm trying to figure out, is about(ish) how many banana peels I should be using per tree.
The paige mandarin trees are 4 and 5 years old and are for the most part at full height of 11 feet and 9 feet wide. The feijoa trees are are about the same age but still growing, and are 6-8 feet tall and wide

Any help would be appreciated
