If you apply just over a half pound of 10-10-10 each month (9 ounces) for 8 months, that doesn't equal the 10 lbs of 10-10-10 needed to give the banana plant 1 lb of nitrogen per growing season (8 months). wouldn't that only give them slightly over 4 lbs of 10-10-10 and not 10 lbs?

Wouldn't you have to give each plant 1.25 lbs of 10-10-10 every month to give it the 1lb of nitrogen over an 8 month span?
