Randy,
I thought crawlspace was what you meant as my late father-in-law had one, too. My house does not come with a crawlspace, so I can’t apply the same methodology to any of my plants on a trail basis. I don’t have banana plants, but your idea is very appealing when I think about my nine feet tall giant bird of paradise.
Thank you very much for your clarification. I learn something new from you today.
