I’ve heard adding potash from an outdoor fire pit is great for these plants. How much do I add? Can I mix it in with water and make a solution of potash and water? Or just toss around in a circle and water it in?

I have pictures of my 4 trees and descriptions in the album on my profile May 2020. Any advice would be super helpful! My goal is to have many successful banana trees of a few varieties on my property, and the sooner the better..
There a few great Youtube videos on potash/supplements and growing the best bananas ever.

Pick and choose what works best for your zone.

A few give the best ratio too.

Ratios and qty's are site dependent and vary from planting to planting
