I think you mean for 2lbs 6-2-12 per month the total for the year would be 2.9lbs K? I certainly do not want to use more fertilizer than necessary. According to my calculation only 315 grams of 6-2-12 would be applied each month if only 1 lb K is added each year. There is a wide range of recommended fertilizer amounts to apply each month on internet. I guess it is trial and error. I am only starting with two banana plants and plan to expand to at least 12 mats over time. I am new to growing bananas. Eventually I will master this and be set.
