*dim*

Been lurking here for a while but this is my 1st post, so I will introduce myself at the same time

I'm a full time landscaper, enjoy planting tropical/exotic style, but am careful with choices as I'm in the UK

I'm learning about fertilizers and nutrients and brew my own actively aerated compost tea .... I have switched away from miracle gro and the likes and now use fertilizers/nutrients that are marketed specifically to cannabis growers (at the moment, I still use Scotts for the lawns though)

some amazing stuff on the market .... even composts (I now use plagron bat mix ) and use loads of worm humus (vermicompost) .... it makes the likes of John innes look like playsand

google for your nearest hydroponic store .... there are 2 in my area that I never knew even existed

but getting back to musa .... I have planted 2 small ones a few weeks ago .... they have not done anything yet as it's still mild here, but they look ok

so, this is what I have been doing so far...

every 2 weeks, a foliar spray with Advanced Nutrients Iguana Grow (its a combination of seaweed, fish hydrolosate, volcanic rock dusts, humic acids etc etc)

every 2 weeks a soil drench of aerated compost tea made with worm humus, kelp, volcanic rock dust, humic acid, forest topsoil, normal garden topsoil, bat guano, unsulphered black strap molasses, and the water I use is rainwater

all other plants/shrubs such as T-rex, huechera, Ricinus, ferns etc are looking very healthy since I have started using my combination of nutrients

I will add other nutrients as I learn more about them .... calcium plus manganese is a definate as I have read lots about this ... I will try advanced nutrients calmag

seaweed extract is brilliant and I don't know why I waited so long to use it
