Default Re: Tip: Cheapest Banana fertilizer.

Last year at our old house a mile from the ocean so of course soil was very sandy. I used 8-0-24. Had large plants after two years an several fruited. Moved into another house this past Febuary further from the ocean but near a large river that dumps into the ocean. Soil is somewhat sandy,dirt and black somewhat stiff dirt. Plants did okay considering being trimmed to the ground, split an laying in my garage bare rotted. Then planted in April. I bought some 10-10-10 to apply with the 8-0-24 which both are pellet forms. This growing season what should I look for that might be better? 50lb bags of these are $14.00 at Famers Supply. PS I'm not using any mulch here as don't want any cockroaches around. They love mulch down here.
