Many land living crayfish typically burrow down to the water table. I do not say all since I have no way of ascertaining that without a lot of study. I have seen burrows go to almost four feet.
I have a banana growing near the course of creek. I built up a mound of soil about 14 inches higher than ground for the nana and no problems with disease or illness to the plant.

Good Evening Mayor,

Looks like you'll have a freezer full of "taste like Chicken".

There was a restaurant in the next town over called "Gator Tales". I love gator tail. Every little gator we got we popped out at the lake by that restaurant. You could drop hush puppies over the rail to the babies. They loved em'. We miss that place.

:lurk:

Here in the tropics bananas grow fine in wet mud. When planting suckers, plant in a mound so they are a bit above the water line, but once they get going they can spread out into the waterlogged mud.

Here in SE FL the slopes of the drainage canals are a great place to plant naners. You never have to water. The roots will extend down to the water line and spread out. The soil is moist further up. I don't have one in my backyard though.
