Re: Potting soil advice (newbie)

Re: hey from nassau bahamas
This sounds like a good regimen, how much 12-12-12 and urea do you use per plant?
And welcome BBF, nice to see a fellow Bahamian :) I live on Grand Bahama

Thanks for the recommendation; unfortunately as I live on a non-US island I do not come under the umbrella scope of places Craigslist can ship to :)

Re: Red Lady Papaya
I have checked with a few local nurseries; they were a bit stingy with the larger ones but were kind enough to give me some of the starter/gallon pots.

Re: Red Lady Papaya
I agree with you; there are some really huge pots (like you can grow small trees in) at the depot store for 12 bucks or so, but I'm not sure how many gallons they are. Is there any way to estimate...

Re: What did you Mulch today..

Re: What did you Mulch today..
Nice; do you feed the non-container (aka in-ground) bananas with the liquid fert regularly or do you just mix up some slow-release or something and let them go for themselves? :)

Re: Red Lady Papaya
I am wondering what size pot you grow that in? I'm trying to grow one in a container myself and wondering if it needs a bigger size. This one is about five gallons I have it in now :)

It sure is; and those babies are looking to take over momma once she gets done. Is that a citrus in front of the naner?

Re: My Canadian Bananas and Tropicals
So it's just staying dry to long between waterings to absorb enough K? That's a very interesting problem. Have you tried repotting it into something with a wetting agent/moisture control that dries...

Re: Lots of room for more bananas!
Looks great! Always a good thing to have more space to grow bananas! I'm starting to dabble into fruit trees a bit myself, although with more container-manageable things like citrus. What's the soil...

Re: My Canadian Bananas and Tropicals
How interesting; I didn't know plants could exhibit mineral deficiencies due to insufficient watering. Are its underwatering symptoms the same as the K deficiency symptoms?
