I grow mine organically on about a quarter acre, spacing them at 10-12 feet. On the curb next to where they grow, they fetch $1.00 per pound green for the entire bunch. I'm new at this and would appreciate any input that would enhance my production, and grow my bottom line. I also sell the AgriStarts TC plants for $15 each or 2/$25 at about three months old. In Pahokee the banana growing should be quite rewarding as your soil conditions are naturally optimal. To improve our Miami-Dade county skinny (0 to 10 inches) soil covering the limestone formation, I use coffee grounds, buried fish heads, worm castings, green manure, and compost to supplement the soil along with mulch and fresh horse stable sweeps. I also use K-Mag a.k.a. SulPoMag. Where can one get the bags suggested and at what point are they tied over the green fruit?
