I've been looking at using organic tea. I've already started using it on the indoor plants with good results. I don't have a final recipe but so far have added about a half gallon of compost to 4 gallons of rain water a couple table spoons of unsulfured molasses and a dash of epson salts. I put the compost in a net and lower in in the water. I use an aquarium heater set at 80 degrees. I have a power head that circulates the water and an air pump attached to an air stone. Brew it for 3 days and use immediately. I water with it and foliage feed.

Any suggestions on ingredients to add to the recipe when the bananas are really growing?

Possibly:

fritted trace elements
blood meal
bone meal
worm castings
alfalfa meal
humic acid


It seems to work for this guy:
