Gabe,

Just a question, as you are more advanced in this than I.....

Why did you plant in tradition rows, rather than what might have been better use of the bananas rooting strength and plant in a hexagonal pattern and allow for unform root growth around each plant. I would imagine that any pups produced would be stronger and less crowded from the neighboring plants?

Thanks,
