Thanks Mitchel!

Nothing special..I focus on creating the "Forest Floor"...I have been in the same house for 18 years and growing bananas for over 40 years.....I have never used chemical fertilizers (and I am not knowledgeable enough on this topic to debate those that do..just stating my experience)....I have had some trial and error....one time I was sitting in the back yard and it was like someone came through with a saw and cut everything down...I had added too much horse manure too close to the mattes and everything just fell over..."Live and Learn"

I add about 5 tons of leaves a year

5 tons of tree mulch

5 tons of horse manure a year

and that is the bulk of it

..sorta speak

And "We" keep the rodent population in check:

Rat Patrol:
