Default Re: New to this and looking for sources

Wow 200lbs 8'x6' that blows away a commercial banana farm.

I'm not the best at math but here goes.
A commercial banana farm in South America produces 3-5 tons of bananas per acre.
1 Acre = 43,560 square feet
3 tons = 6,000lbs

Your SDC:
8'x6'= 48 square feet.
200lbs per 48 square feet.
4.16 lbs per 1 square foot.

4.16x43,560=
181,500lbs per acre. Or
90.75 tons per acre.

Anyone if my maths not right correct me. I'm a farmer not a mathematician.

Wow I don't think anyone in history has produced as many bananas per acre as you.

A tropical banana plantation makes 3 tons and your SDC makes 90 tons. I can see why so many people on here recommend them now. It's ashamed the professionals and banana farms don't catch on. A cavendish is a cavendish after all.

Also where did you get your SDC originally from? A TC I'm sure but what source? I also notice you sell California gold and blue java. What are your sources on these? There are two of the most mislabeled bananas. It took me forever to get the correct varieties.

Think i may buy one from you and try it. How much are they?
