I have a quick question for you guys in the know. How deep do I have to dig the hole for my 3 foot tall musa basjoos considering that I'm digging in dirt with a clay bottom. I intend to line the bottom with small stone and make sure there is run off, so no pooling. I have the hole 2 feet deep and am planning to raise it up another 2ft and plan to leave them in the ground permanently, covering them up for the winter. Do you guys think this is sufficiently deep for them if they get a chance to spawn a mature family of offspring. (if the corm survives several years?)
Thank you much, they are getting planted tomorrow or the next day one way or the other. Gotta make way for the new stuff!
