I am making a little progress on the planting. Basically, this farm is going to be plantains of different types. Lots of Hawaiians, some maricongo, some dwarf plantain, and african rhino horn. Plantains are a lot less work than bananas.

$800/yr for 2 acres of nearly frost proof land. I basically need to make $4/mat to break even. It would be nice to have some partners to lease a larger acreage.

How so? Is it because there are fewer fingers on plantain bunches to harvest and sell, or is it something about their growth and care?

Awesome to see your progress. Thanks for the update!

They don't sucker as much, and I can make 1 or 2 phone calls and sell 30 stalks every week.

Oh Progress... my old farm was finally turned back in after sitting unused for 3 months. The new place is growing quickly though.

Nicholas,

Please tell us your spacing.

If you were growing Dwarfs (DR,DN.DC) what spacing would you use?

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
