I really would like to do something creative with my banana leaves and would love how-to's.

I'll be cutting them back soon and I will have a ton of of material. Where do you start in cutting this stuff up for compost? ie: I actually cut all the trunks back to the ground after the first freeze and the trunks are huge!

Using the advice from you all in dividing, fertilizing and composting we now have 3 large banana areas and my original big banana trees have grown way past their normal 12' height.
