Default Re: I just want a yard like Rmplmnz!

You have to plant really fast growing varities like Saba, Nam Wah, Ensete, etc... And as for the grass thing, I would personally remove grass a few feet away from plants if possible only because grass always ends up traveling into planting beds. I dont have enough room to make sure this doesnt happen with my beds so Im constantly weeding grass out.
The great thing about banana plants is that they become large in just a few years. If you have 10, 3 foot tall banana plants now, 5 years from now your bananas will be huge and fruiting!
