Re: Healthy plants falling over unexpectedly
Wasn’t sure you were serious, but I can see a fillet knife should work well. Maybe a dedicated knife just for the bananas? Will one of the cheap ones under $20 on Amazon be adequate?

Re: 2019 Banana Patch: Pensacola, Florida
Thanks for the info on the fertilizing and the way you prepped the area. 2000 pounds of black cow sounds like a lot. IIRC, I used maybe 1/2 bag filled in to each planting hole when I planted mine...

Re: 2019 Banana Patch: Pensacola, Florida

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
HMelendez, another question about the sand. Where do you find yours and what are the best deals for quantity/price/bulk? I saw this on HomeDepot, but it doesn't seem like coarse...

Re: DIY Biochar
Wow you did this inside your house? I'm hesitant to do this where I live for fear my neighbors will report me to the HOA when they see billows of smoke making BioChar. Hell, I use my Weber grill...

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
Is it completely sealed, ie. any leakage?
Clear packing tape or scotch tape?
Also what's the best way to cut it so they stack? Using a box cutter blade?
Does the second tier stack without...

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
Ok, well I must have missed or didnt read yet in that lengthy thread, that you used your own soiless mix of sphagnum peat moss, perlite and silica sand. I was under the impression you used ONLY 100%...

Re: Dwarf Iholena bent at right angle cut or not?
I did get the smaller Dwarf Iholena repotted in a 3 gallon container and layed it sideways, so now it is pointing straight up. I just didn't know if having part of the p-stem buried like this, could...

Re: Dwarf Iholena bent at right angle cut or not?
Sarah I thought about that, but I'd need quite a large pot wide enough to be able to lay it sideways for it to be upright. May be possible to put this in a 3 gallon container to make that happen,...

Re: Dwarf Iholena bent at right angle cut or not?
Thanks for the response Sarah. Things are still growing here in Florida. The stem is kind of puny since I never repotted it over the summer. It was stuck in a 4" pot that tipped over in my lanai,...

Re: An Update Of My Latest Nana Plants 2018!
HMelendez, also how do you make those clear dome extensions? Do you just buy the dome and cut out the top to stack them? How do you seal it so water doesn't evaporate through the cracks?
