Re: Potassium sulfate 0-0-50 question?
 

Bananimal's produces some huge bunches. No joke. I would be stoked to produce the size bunches shown in his photo gallery.

His banana patch is probably at a more or less stable state in regards to N if the leaves and trunk are composted/recycled back into the patch. Just needs a little N and a lot of K to replace what he takes out when he harvests his huge bunches. His location gets plenty of water and sun and he has a good length to his season so no worries there.

I'm just starting out and my location is less than ideal so I follow the 1lb/1.5lb N/K standard until I get more experience under my belt.

They're getting the needed nitrogen from somewhere ...

My experience has been that the bigger the pstem the faster it will break in H-cane winds. PR Giants has the perfect solution.

When the storm is closing in push the pstem over. Lay it down to ground level. It will continue to grow. If fruit is on they will fill in nicely. Worked for me last year.:08::08::08:

ALMOST FORGOT a small square of plywood under the bunch will slow down the bugs. But not the rabbits possums rats etc.
