It can be done, but the challenge of it is that in order for any of the fixed nitrogen from the legume to be available to the banana, the dead legume tissue must be incorporated into the soil. This is normally not a problem for vegetable growing, as typically a legume crop or cover crop is grown, and then it is tilled into the soil before the next non-legume crop.

That is what I thought, but then I was reading about leguminous trees that provide nitrogen to the plants below. So I thought that maybe I didn't understand as much as I thought I did. Yeah for fertilizer in the yard I use coffee grounds, and I know this sounds strange but urine. Helps give a darker and longer green than anything else I have used and it saves water. I am going to try that composted manure blend from Home Depot and see if that helps at all.
