Greetings from Poland.

I'm going to transplant my bananas into larger pots tomorrow. I want to use some of my garden compost. I compost stuff like kitchen scraps, cardboard, rotten wood, plant remains, almost anything that can biodegrade. My garden plants seem love it.

Is it in common practice with the potted bananas to sterilize the compost? I'd rather not do that but I will if I have to.

Thanks!
