Many soils are initially full of the minerals that fruiting plants employ. A full crop of fruit on a mature semi-dwarf tree (or banana) will contain about a pound of nitrogen and 1.5 pounds of potash. Eventually the resources in the soil will be exhausted -- unless you or your surroundings somehow replenish them.
