This is a simple and effective way to grow bananas.
My plants produce larger bunches and do it more quickly using this system.
No fertilizer was used, only grass clippings and water were added to the barrel.
With the roots being so concentrated it was relatively easy to maintain proper moisture levels, even during a severe drought.
I've experimented with banana leaves and pseudostem pieces, but the root development was not nearly as good.
