Re: Saba vs. Kandrian

Jeffaro, I have not seen many people growing the Kandrian variety. It was collected from Papua New Guinea in the late 1980s. I think it would be worth a try in your area. The field testing in south...

Re: Saba vs. Kandrian

In order to get the most accurate results, you should plan to really judge them closely when they are on at least their 2nd, or ideally 3rd bunch. Normally the shoots are increasing in size up to the...

Re: Dogs

I had the same problem. My dogs love the small banana pups. They step on the baby bananas, grab the young banana plants and shake and shred them. I had to put up a fence and separate them. :nanadrink:

Re: 3x3 method ???

You can put cans, jars, bottles, and even an old tire in your big ass hole, but does it actually help.
