Despite the claim of robust large plant, I have had very little luck with them.

Re: Pisang Raja
Surfactants (very soapy water) are a non-toxic (to us) way of killing spider mites and leaf chewing insects.
Something I have noticed is that the roots of Pisang Raja do not like being inhibited and they also do not like prolonged cool periods. I hope this helps, if you want pictures I will post them. :jalapenonaner: |

Hey Doc------- Being in 9b/10 why isn't the PR in the ground? It would then take off with no more pot worries. Good time to inspect root ball at planting time.

Re: Pisang Raja
We have gophers and I have been trying to fix that problem. It isn't working though. SO I have decided to get some chicken wire and dig a big hole line it with the wire and then plant my bananas. That is the only reason it is still in a pot.
Or I just read in a mini farming book that caster oil works on gophers and moles. I don't care about moles though. The oil is safe for plants and animals, soaks into the ground the gophers/moles get it on their fur, lick it off and get diarrhea. Then they stop coming back. I read it lasts for six months. Oh and I wanted to pick up some green sand before they go in the ground. They should be in the ground in the next week. I can't wait. |

Re: Pisang Raja
Steve,
Let me pass on some good info I sent to Magilla Gorilla last year. When I moved to So Fla 6 years ago the moles/gophers created a subway system in the yard. The literature on control says that elimination is the only way to win. Found a product that really works and is available at HD or Lowes. It’s called "Tomcat Mole Killer". Comes in 2 forms now - earthworm and grub. You open an active tunnel and insert one of these jelly worms/grubs inside and carefully cover it up without crushing the tunnel. I use a 12" pair of curved forceps for inserting the Tomcat worms in the tunnel. Gets the thing in there and disturbs the tunnel ceiling the least. One worm per 12' of tunnel. I don't know if my critters are the same as yours, but if they drag the thing back to the nest for the pups results should be dramatic. And it's alot cheaper and less work than chickenwire. It took 6 to 8 applications the first time I used it. One day, 2 months after stopping the baiting, I noticed all tunnels had collapsed. The tunnels showed up 2 years later but that's cause I have 2 vacant lots on each side of me. Check it out --------- http://www.tomcatbrand.com/mole_cont...ntrol-overview Was worried about the dog - labradors love to dig, right? She ignored the baits. Gotta say again - this stuff really works!!! Dan |
