Re: Why am I getting next to no growth from my dwarf brazilians

Re: Steer Manure, Chicken Manure, or Bat Guano?

Chickens are great!!!
I am actually thinking of starting an experiment with a banana pup by planting it on my chicken manure pile. No big deal if it fails as one of my banana mats has so many pups...

Re: Steer Manure, Chicken Manure, or Bat Guano?

Chicken manure has more potassium in it, so I vote chicken. Plus another nice thing is that if you own chickens, it's easier to collect :)

Re: Outdoor container questions for Dwarf Brazilian

I would thin those pups out now. You really only want the corm complex working on one fruit stalk. Pups will come monthly. Keep removing them. When the "mother" stalk produces a bud, let one of the...
