Hi,

I use here in Brazil horse manure to get one humus layer on my sandy soil in my yard. Also the red clay is very good and I saw one banana plantation on the red clay in Brazil in São Turvo do Pedro. I'm experimenting with two beds for one soil changing project for bananas. I dug two new beds, the first bed with the layers of cutten branches, leaves, rottening oranges, hay and sand and the second bed with the layers of cutten branches, hay and red clay. Then I will request my housekeeper to put horse manure on the new both trial beds. In November I will return to Brazil again and will plant new bananas. Then I will see, which bed does have the better result. The method with the better result I will widespread on my total yard to eliminar the sandy soil.

The sand I will sell or exchange for more red clay. I will speak with my housekeeper about this.

Best wishes
Joachim
