How To Grow Banana Plants And Keep Them Happy.
Growing Bananas
Growing bananas does not take much effort, but it does require that you get a few things right when you first get started.
Banana plants can offer many benefits:
They make great windbreaks or screens,
they can keep the sun of the hot western side of your house,
they utilize the water and nutrients in waste drains (think washing water or outdoor shower),
the leaves can be fed to horses, cows and other grazers,
the dried remains of the trunks can be used for weaving baskets and mats.
Oh, and they give you bananas. Lots of bananas!
But when I look around friends' gardens then I see some pretty sad looking banana plants growing there. It helps to understand what bananas like and dislike if you want them to be happy!
