This was a problem I came about having when I used to use cut up banana peels and soak them in the water I would give my plants so that they could benefit from the nutrients. At the time, I wasn’t using charcoal in my soil mix, not that this wouldn’t have happened if I had charcoal in the mix (I think?). I’m not saying charcoal is the solution, I’m just noting what was in my soil and what I had in it.
Aside from my soil mix, I’m going to just say that banana peel water just created so much fungus and mold for me. I also think that I was over watering my plants, hence the mass growth of mold in like a day.
I now use a water meter to check when I need to water literally ALL of my plants and I do not use banana water or any other type of “compost” mixture I make myself. I use worm castings and liquid fertilizer and my plants and soil look better and healthier.
I struggled with this for a long time so I just wanted to make a post about how I defeated this mold.
Just… Gross.
(& so many fungus gnats)
