Bananas are shallow rooted and the corn top should be at ground level.

I think I have clay. I actually potted mine in a raised bed (slightly raised). It's doing really well except for one thing. It seems to want to lean and I keep having to use bungee cords to straighten it out again. I'm afraid it will just fall over one day if there is a strong wind. I am worried that the potting mix is not heavy enough so I actually added more dirt for weight. (actually it was manure, but still adds weight)
Is my concern about toppling legitimate?
