General Discussions. » Making Banana Leave Mulch May 10, 2006 04:23 PM (Total replies: 0)

Thanks for all your help. I was also making mulch with a machete but it was not as finely chopped as I wanted so I let it dry out well and tossed it in a 55 gal. open top plastic drum. Then I went at it with my string trimmer. At first it turned up quite a bit of dust (close your eyes). I sprayed it with a little water and I was much less dusty. It worked well and was a lot easier than using the machete. The mulch helps to keep in the moisture which is good now because we have had very little rain in the past few months.

I am new to your forum and growing bananas. I may be asking an often asked question but after searching around a bit I did not find the answer so I'll ask the question. What is the proper mulch to use for banana trees? I have cedar mulch but I've heard that it can be damaging to certian trees. My trees are doing well. I acquired them from my brothers rental property and moved them to my back yard in Central Florida. I have them in sandy soil. Much to my suprise the largest one (maybe six ft.) has produced a stalk of bananas. Any help will ba appreciated.
