I grew this gargantuan crop of Blue Java bananas without feeding them any store bought fertilizers - even though most tropical horticulture enthusiasts recommend dumping massive quantities of consumer nutrient products on them. Instead, I replicated the warmth, moisture, and high decomposition rates of bananas' native secondary succession tropical forest habitat - and they are THRIVING. . . How did I create conditions similar to a clearing in an Indonesian rainforest resulting from a tree falling in the semi-arid Mediterranean climate of Southern California - and without huge expenses and a high ecological footprint for that matter? It's simple - all I did was plant them against a large south facing thermal mass (the wall), I continually pile "difficult to compost" organic refuse around the base of the clump, and I feed them wastewater generated in the garden (we only use biodegradable soaps, etc.). . . Bananas have been utilized by Indigenous cultures throughout the tropics and subtropics for thousands of years to transform trash into food. Grow them in any sufficiently warm climate (USDA zone 9 and above), and use them as a sink for your yard trimmings, weeds/invasives, allelopathic foliage, pet waste, urine, and household graywater. In return, they will gift you with massive quantities of fruit and high quality, nutritious, water retaining biomass to feed your other crops. Amend with compost or composted manure at planting. . . The total fruit count is 182. This defeats a Namwah I grew the conventional organic way (fish emulsion, kelp, and azomite) - a supposedly higher yielding variety - which produced a bunch of 158 fruit for me 😎 . . . . #gardentok #tropicalfruit #sustainable #sustainablegardening #regenerativeagriculture #composting #urbangardening #californiagarden #solarpunkfarmer #solarpunk
