We've grown today to include a new forum category:
DIY - Gardening Do It Yourself (http://www.bananas.org/f313/)
Do you know a good gardening DIY plan? Are you in need for some good DIY ideas? This is the forum to discuss all Do It Yourself plans and questions. For example, learn about: The pipe work to support banana bunches, making pots out of newspaper, using plastic cups as pots, tips for building coverings for plants during winter, etc. If you know a good DIY plan, please share it here, and if you need one, please ask away!


I put it in the "Other Topics" area for now, lets see how it progresses. If we find it grows to better belong in the "Banana Forum" parent category, we'll restructure it later.

As usual, if you see some old threads that should be moved into this new category (or any other category for that matter), please click the report post icon, it looks like this: http://www.bananas.org/images/buttons/report.gif

Thanks to John (InOneEar (http://www.bananas.org/member-inoneear.html)) and anyone else who suggested this over the years!

If you have some DIY projects up your sleeves, please post them there to share with the world. And of course, if you are in need of a good DIY project, you may post there as well!

Enjoy the new section and use it well!

Great place for bencelests project and some of the overwintering posts having to do with Christmas tree lights, insulation, trsh bag totems, etc. But then again, would we benefit by having an overwintering thread and another for pests? It seems that we get lots of people asking the same questions about these two subjects repeatedly.

A lot of the "cold hardy bananas" threads might belong in the DIY category because over the years that was the best place to describe tricks to build things to over winter bananas... moving forward though things should be organized better with this new offering, we shall see...
