[Stoves] banana peels

[Anand Karve]

Dear Robert,
the pseudostems of banana are not very good. I tried to make biogas out of
them but failed. If there is any trick that I am not aware of, please let
me know. I think they are full of phenolic compounds which retard the
activity of the methanogenic micro-organisms.
Yours
