Looks like very sandy soil? As I have a real red, heavy clay soil. I recently bought a truck load of a very course sand spaded it in as deep as I could and then tilled it as deep as I could. Hopefully this well help out with the clay situation. I plan to put a pretty heavy layer of wood chips over the intire bed.
Any clue what the ideal PH should be for Bananas?
Al,

You are correct, heavy layers of sand, then clay then limestone (6 or more feet down). Not sure on PH, we just keep layering and layering!
