These spacers also promote root development which helps the plants grow bigger and faster.
FEELING DUMB...PR-Giants, can you explain what you mean my spacers?? I think people are confused because we are taught not to put the corm too deep so as not to rot it out.
So if one puts a banana in a smart pot with it 1/3 or 1/2 full with soil, then what does one do? Thanks.
