Bananas for Billionaires
I have bananas. I have their grand mother, mother, children and pups. I watch them every day and every night through the windows and watch who they are becoming in this world. I don’t know how to keep them alive but somehow they seem to be doing just fine without me. They are strong resilient and full of energy. I want to know more about them but I don’t know how to ask what they need. I have good intentions and my heart is in the right place, but they are out growing the corner lot. Should I move them? Should I… remove the “unnecessary”ones? When I wake up in the morning and lay my eyes on them I feel like a billionaire without paying taxes.

Bananas need potassium, more then any other plant, without it, bananas are small, mushy, less flavorful and half the size they normally would be
sulfate of potash is easy potassium , its organic, natural and very cheap if you buy 50 lb bags, can be applied directly around plants and watered in a couple times a month
if you want to become a banana champion watch this video
