Benny, I forgot to tell you that you have to plant your banana on a mounded soil, so that its corm is above soil level. the mound will naturally divert water away during winter, provide aeration. The soil mound can be a mixture of composted steer manure and your soil, some bark chips for aeration. The mound can be easily covered with black plastic. The black plastic helps warm up the soil mound to have added protection during winter.
