It depends on your zone. During warm months bananas need a lot of fertilizer because they grow extremely fast. I am in zone 8a and in the summer months I take a handful or two of triple 16 and spread it around the plant. I do that about once a month and they seem to be fine. However, my conditions are probably different than yours. What type of climate do you live in?
