Compost at any time of the year?
Looking at my banana plants at this time of the year: they look sad. A lot of leaves have become yellow. It is probably because of winter and we already had a few nights down to the low 40F. I am careful with water (actually have not watered other than the little rain we got). Did not fertilize for about a month either.
I was wondering if it would be beneficial to add compost and mulch as a soil amendment at this time of the year, mix in some gypsum to soften my clay soil or if it would rather increase the possibility of damaging the corm and/or the plants root system as it might cause rot, especially because of the low night temperatures at this time of the year? Any opinions on that?
