Re: Banana Problem
It does loosen the soil and it is wonderful for your bananas-- if there is drainage. The problem you have is the clay soil around the part you amended will not let the water drain out--so it sits there and rots the roots of the plants--once the roots begin to rot the symptoms are the same as drought--causing you to water even more. When you dig it up you will find the soil is very sour--probably stinks--no oxygen.
But again--if you can design a hole that has drainage--like on a slope, that clay soil is very rich in minerals and will do well.
