hydroid

I am working over in the South Pacific and am on a small island that has a very few Bananas and I was surprised that my Bananas back home in the states are much healthier and bigger.
I have just started having good results with the pups I transplanted after they almost died.
Although it's the wet season and rains almost every day this island is nothing more than coral dust and the rain just passes through without doing much. So the locals told me that they bury coconut husk around the corm to hold the water and moisture around the plant. So that's what I've been doing along with composing what I can get like coffee grounds, ashes, and other organics that the rats won't get. But the coconut husk are really making a difference now.
