Re: Soil
Banana's like well draining soil so they don't have to sit in Aqua, and then they will drown unless its a water banana, and doubt it is. I use 1 part cow manure, peet moss, Sand, mix in some Mycorrhizal Fungi to help the roots grow for a healthier banana :^)

Re: Soil
I mix soil and horse manure. if you can find it without shavings it is better.my horses tend to go in one place in the pasture so I just scoop it up with the front end loader and make my beds out of it. feed the bananas a little 0-0-0-25 for potassium.

Re: Soil
Thank you all. Guess I'll be changing out the soil. Put me to wok for my Banana. It is a red striped one and it is growing. Will try to get pic, whenever I learn how to post it. Thanks again, everyone for your help.
