How much banana fuel for fruiting plant?
 
I have a few Icecreams (or Namwahs) and a Dwarf Orinoco that are having fruit since 1-2 months back now and I have so far been giving them roughly 75% of cup in 2 gallons of water of banana fuel (Richards) every two weeks.
Is that too much or too little?

Advice is highly welcome!

What do the instructions on the banana fuel package say?

In general, I use synthetic fertilizer at half the rate specified on the package. I use organic fertilizers according to package directions.

It's definitely not too little. In my heavy, clay soil, it would be too much, but the kind of soil you have matters.

The most important question is how are your plants doing with that fertilizer regime? If they look good and are growing well, keep doing it.

I use 15-15-15, and during the summer, find that for most varieties, when they are actively growing, you can't really over-fertilize them (be reasonable).
