Posting a photo of my ground will not be of much use, but I do have photos of an above ground technique which is basically identical except for the fact it is vertical and not horizontal.
I have been able to grow the roots taller than the tops of the leaves, a little crazy but I was curious.

I placed the shredded/chopped bananas on top of clay soil that had been amended with composted material for several years. Even after all that amending it's still hard packed clay just a few feet down so it can only handle just so much water, especially being on relatively flat ground where there is little runoff. Add some cold temps and you have a real mess on your hands!
As for feeder roots are you talking about the bright furry white ones just under the surface of the soil or compost?
