I picked up some black cow at HD. Heard that was good, but my sources don’t have much experience. Looking for experienced advice.


Also, what kind of soil is best for bananas? Can I just buy it at Home Depot or Lowe’s or is it better to order online? Really want these guys to do well and prevent wasting a lot of time on silly mistakes.

It’s amazing that there’s not that many professional videos on YouTube on how to plant bananas. I can usually find anything there. The only 3 good channels I can find are Green Dreams, What’s Ripening, & IV Organics. All of which are not really banana specific.
There are many vids on how to make your soilless mix.
Redefine your search to tropical plant soilless mix's.
Or best soilless mix for bananas..
Pick and choose what works for you...

Here is fun start..
