cute puppy, seems like a good place to me. I water my banana plants when they get dry about an inch or 2 down.

Re: Do banana suckers look like grass when they first come up?
 

if that was my banana i would get mulch around that plant.

Re: Do banana suckers look like grass when they first come up?
 

What is mulch? Where can I get it?

Re: Do banana suckers look like grass when they first come up?
 

oh I though every one knew what mulch was> in general it is partially decomposed vegetative material from wood chips grass clippings and leaves from trees.

lol... okay... i have a whole bunch of leafs on the ground from this oak tree that's right next to my house... can i just put some of those on there?

Re: Do banana suckers look like grass when they first come up?
 

Oak is some of the best leaves to use around a banana since they have a high acidicy rate and they banana's that stuff up.... no doubt. Its better than any mulch unless its from a fresh ground stump(stump grinder) they are good too.

okay... ill just put some of those leafs on where the banana plant is... so what exactly is this stuff suppose to do?

Re: Do banana suckers look like grass when they first come up?
 

I use the green leaves when I drop branches off my 2 oaks. You use them like mulch they break down and help retain water.

Re: Do banana suckers look like grass when they first come up?
 

helps retain moister and maintain root temp too. So many things to say but it very good for the Bananas. They love it.
