Keith do u just grow out pups in the pots and then plant in the ground? What would happen if u dug a huge hole filled it full of grass clipping and planted the mat-to-be in that? There could be epic yields from those ARHs!

I can grow a banana in only grass, but the first month or so is slow.
I can also grow a banana in only coffee grounds, but it is very slow.
It is best to keep the corm surrounded by coarse sand and only allow the roots to grow in your preferred medium.
I believe the corm should be dry and the roots very wet.
Digging a hole in the center and filling it with grass will work, but the roots will enter from the top of the sides
and will be damaged as more grass is added and compressed.
With the barrel, the roots enter from the bottom and are only compressed not stretched or broken when more grass is added.
