Maintenance with removing old stems has become something for us to remember, if we leave a medium to tall chunk of dead stem the corn can rot out, so we cut the steam half way after harvest and then we cut the steam right above the corm a few months later once it is dried/fully dead.
Y’all are making me wanna move to FL. Don’t know where’s the best place to live a simple life with a great permaculture garden and close to the beach, but I’ve been invited to check out Dunedin (I love their bagpipes band). I’ll probably come out in July after Costa Rica. Any suggestions would be great. Come on, Pete!! Get those funny shirts printed, plssssss. And Matt, did u say #RackingOut? 😂🤣😅
I don't want to jinx anybody but Florida did have a wonderful winter this year. No frost here in Central Florida either. My banana trees are growing with a vengeance in Feb.
@@MasterKenfucius- I actually saw the forecast before you wrote the comment... my sense of humor is hit and miss. Nice area you're in. I don't like to name names, but if you head west until you can't any more, then go north for a bit... that general region. Current forecast says 35 as a low here... too close for comfort and probably fatal for my optimistically planted seedlings.
@@allanturpin2023 I'm sorry to hear that. As far as the "Nice area" comment, well, it's great temperature wise, BUT, it's still right on the path of just about any Hurricane coming to the East Coast of Florida, and that sucks for my plants! ;) I have to say I got a little scared when you mentioned that cold... all my mangoes, lychees, Surinam cherries, mulberries, jaboticabas, and avocados are flowering. It would really stink if we got a freeze at this point in time!
Any chance you could do a video on nitrogen fixers, like how you position them in your orchard and if you have seen benefits from any of them in particular.
When you say that the first harvest rack is often small, would it be the first rack is on the "grandfather" and subsequent larger racks are on the father and child?
Facts,,definitely need that organic matter,,especially in Kissimmee where I’m located and where it’s colder ,,good channel tho,always tunning in,,please keep the banana videos coming 🍌🌴
@@WhatsRipening If its panama you should definitely remove the clump. Here's a resource that can help with ID. A cross section is the easiest way to tell from what I've heard. www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/banana/documents/Docs_Resources_2015/TR4/Panama-disease-FS.pdf
ive been scrapincompost off the last few days cause i cant get the soil wet haha :p can you tell me how to make newly planted (3 months ago)citrus grow fast man mine just sit there and get yellow veins and leaves fall off ive been thinking it must be either too much water or not enough due to too much compost on top soakin it all up or somethin

Another great tip. Thanks!
Show off! That’s it I’m moving south 😝
Lol, you should!

Ian Kalani bring it! Dunedin is pretty awesome. I wouldn’t look any further north.

Geez man... I just checked the weather and now there's a chance of frost on March 6th.

@@allanturpin2023 Where are you located? I'm in Melbourne.
@@allanturpin2023 The lowest for me should be around 51 degrees if the forecast is correct. No sweat. :)

Hey matt, couldn't help but notice in the background you've completed some new projects/plantings... still hoping for an update.
Seems like you don't leave space between the banana stem and mulch don't you experiance problems with weevils?
good stuff man! bananas are awesome. Have you ever seen panama in your namwahs? the variety is highly susceptible and its here in FL.
Not sure, they seem healthy. I think I have a disease on my raja puri bananas though..
@@WhatsRipening If its panama you should definitely remove the clump. Here's a resource that can help with ID. A cross section is the easiest way to tell from what I've heard.

I've always heard they were susceptible and that we have the disease here so i was just curious! thanks!
You're in west FL right? Do you sell those banana varieties?
Yes I do. By appointment only, you can find me on Facebook or my website peaceriverorganics.com
What is mean by banana racks.
do you cut off the flower ?
Only if it's in the way. Or if someone asks for them. Sometimes I make fertilizer with them.
What would you prefer banana circle or a swell
That depends on the site and the project goals.
Anyone in Tampa I need a banana friend and I'd love somebody to come by and tell me what I'm doing right and what I'm doing wrong

Hard to say. Citrus can be tough. Sometimes you have to start over. Sometimes they jump back to life.

@@veganchiefwarrior6444 sounds like you may be overwatering but no way for me to know.
poo in a shoe i say @@WhatsRipening
Put in a nitrogen fixing tree between each one or every other that provides tall over story dappled shade

Your face on camera is perfectly fine. Why do you always scratch your head, though?
