Re: Banana Circles
Have to say after reading the links above discussing banana circles that they seem to lead to the same experience and conclusion as myself. They are constantly changing and evolving and growing and producing and then need to be cut down as they produce so just keeping it in a circle doesn't quite make sense. Maybe it's good to get it started? And mixing other plants in amongst them could work if the pups are mostly frequently dug out and given away or sold--or planted elsewhere on the property if there's room. I just maintain "patches" of bananas, keeping the varieties separate and they are producing wonderfully. I cut down and clean up the really brown leaves (sparingly, not too much) and lay them around and among the patches to feed and water the bananas. The trunks are LOADED with water. All male guests are invited to "water" the bananas with their nutrient filled water (discretely, of course).
