Default Re: Blue Java!!!

Akula, I am just down the road from you in Ft Walton Beach. Im inspired by your success growing bananas! I cleared a section of my yard this winter, removed 2 feet of sand and hardwood roots,backfilled with a few tons of mushroom compost and aged manure and planted 10 blue Java plants.. My first 6 went in the ground about a month ago, and they are about 3 feet tall. I ordered 4 more to interplant, with the thinking that a tight patch may block wind in the cold months. Ibe been fertilizing with banana fuel from wellspring gardens, and triple 13. Ive got a few tons of manure aging, and a truckload of woodchips on the way. Any tips you can give me to get these going right their first year?
