I've been told that tomato plants love banana peels. I put one in the hole with every plant when I move them outdoors. The roots wind around it and suck up the potassium.
Also, scattering crushed egg shells on the ground around your plants will give them a dose of calcium.

I just read in the Rose Forum that you tried this (banana peel) for the first time this spring. When did you plant/how long has it been, and how is it working for you?
I put banana peels and eggshells in my compost piles and prep the tomat planting hole/bed with the compost as well as using it for side dressing and making AACT.
