Default Re: can you give a banana to much potassium

I have always wondered on the mulch thing. I mulch heavy here in my zone 8a. I do 4-6” I would guess as I just throw it on and eye it. After a few rains/winds it shrinks alittle. Anyone I have asked never had an exact yes or no on whether mulch and such robbed fertilizer from the bananas. We know one thing that the mulch has good stuff in it as well. A friend of mine Tony Avent from Plantdelights has never fertilized his banana mats but has used free compost from the city since 1987 till present. All his mats grow huge with that and irrigation in zone 7b microclimate in a valley.
