Default Re: Growing Organic Bananas

Composted horse manure is a fantastic way to fertilize organically. Use about 3.5 cubic feet or 100 liters per year per banana plant or mature semi-dwarf fruit tree in the ground to obtain 1 lb of Nitrogen and 0.7 lb of Potash per year. Supplementing with another Potash source to bring the total up to 1.5 lb per year is recommended.
