Back to the fertilizer: I buy one big bag each of the three fertilizers in high concentration. then mix it as
desired and get it for about one sixth of the price I’d have to pay at Walmart or Home Depot.

I wouldn't put bananas out in the fall. Even here in South Florida you don't gain much by putting plants out in October vs Late February. There are some differences between the different high grade fertilizers. On the alkaline soils that I have I am trying to put out acidic fertilizers.
