Thanks a lot. Now the question is over what happened last time I had something planted there. It was in a similar spot about 3 feet away, and the roots from grass, creeping fig, and other plants invaded the soil and choked out the banana plant. Is there any way to prevent that from happening again? I can get pictures of the area and of the different plants that are growing there. In the immediate area is a hedge of some sort, a Pandorea, creeping fig, lawn grass, and a variegated woody shrub (I think it's a Euonymus). The creeping fig seemed to do the most damage in terms of root invasion, and I don't think it's feasible to remove it.
