Thanks for the reply! I am currently waiting on a load of woodchips, so I can mulch them good before the summer. The banana fuel was just something from the nursery where I bought the plants.. I quickly realized it wont be feasible once these things get going, and with it being water soluble, it will likely leech quickly from the soil. I hope I don't have my plants too close together.. they are roughly 7 ft apart, planted in a U shape. My neighbor down from me has his planted in a tight clump, and has bananas on his.. I was thinking the tight spacing might protect them in winter? My thought was to compost kitchen waste in the culvert in the center of them.. now I'm thinking about pavers in the center, with an outdoor shower.. that way the bananas can benefit from the grey water runoff from the shower..
If you think I need to move a few to thin them, let me know! Thanks!

Im trying to upload photos, but having a bit of trouble so not sure if these will show up.
EDIT.. pics came through, but are sideways.. anyone know how to fix?
