Default Re: Using Banana Pseudostem as Planter

Personally don't think it's a good idea, mainly because transplanting later will be more stressful and difficult than if a pot or a compostable pot was used.

Really liked the idea that bamboo was used for the support.

I believe as much of the plant should go back into the soil as Illia wrote.

Actually it's not difficult at all, and on a percentage basis more chemically synthesized inorganic fertilizers is lost than organic fertilizers.
