Re: tips for planting and staking bananas wanted
It gets windy where I live too and I just have to stake the pups I put out in the spring. I'm a worrier! We put a small stake on each side of the plant and loop two sections of soft garden hose around the trunk attaching them to both sides so it can't bend in either direction and the hose won't cut into the trunk. Then after about a month we take it off.
We have cows and horses so we amend the soil with that in the spring and then after that I use store bought fertilizer. I think if you type in 'fertilizer' in the search area you'll find a ton of info in older threads. I still have to do that at times to remind myself of everything I've learned here! This forum is like being in school!! I have read and taken so many notes in the past.
Keep us posted!!
