Default Re: Best Mulch For Banana Plants????

Or if you have a friend with a horse ranch, you'll get prime mulching stuff there for free, sometimes delivered to you.

Our city sometimes give away free compost in a community garden and you can haul some of it home.

If you can't get freebie stuff, the composted steer manure from WalMart or Home Depot are one of the cheapest and yet perfectly suited for bananas. At WalMart, they sometimes go as low as $0.84 per cubic foot, and at HD, it will go on sale at $0.99 per cubic ft.

It can improve the soil structure for bananas through time. Very good stuff those freebies and the cheapest composted manure.
