Re: Azomite (azomite.com)
I think azomite on bananas is a simple waste of money if it's ornamental bananas as it only aids in the quality of the fruit production. It might help a bit in overall growth, but the micronutrients provided in it are usually only beneficial if you have deficiencies of it in your soil already. For example if you are already giving your bananas a nice fertilizer, and it is still turning yellow or rotting, then I would give azomite a shot.
Some things such as root rot can be a result of things other than nutrient deficiencies such as drainage which can be amended by organic materials, or gypsum. calcium deficiency often results in sudden browning, or rot on new leaves.
Something like urea, or manure is definitely more bang for the buck. I would only recommend azomite as a supplement to the garden if you are growing stuff for food, and you want an edge in overall production, but it definitely doesn't replace the macro/ NPK nutrients.
