I am in Marshfield Wisconsin and have grown potted bananas from 6inches to over 10ft in pots using Milorganite (made from water treatment facilities near the Milwaukee Brewery) and plain old bagged cow manure. It has worked great. The manure is about 2 bucks a bag and the only drawback is in a larger pot it does add a quite a bit of weight since it retains moisture. Milorganite is around 12 bucks a bag and I just add 4 cups or so to a 24"pot for starters and then a cup or 2 every couple of months. I also add potassium twice a year which I got from the local coop. Just a cup or so at a time.
