Banana guys are good! :08: :nanadrink: :woohoonaner: :goteam: :2738:
No the bigger the better. So I would get a 6-8 gallon pot and put casters on the bottom :08::08::08:

And you could do some hugleculture. Spelled wrong? And put in logs or stocks in the bottom. And kitchen scraps\ fruit feelings banana peels, ANYTHING. You can use any fertilizer. Fertilize in small doses every couple weeks

Yeah. It starts innocently enough with just one. Be careful, or you'll end up helplessly addicted before you know it...:ha:
