Anyone else here because they are trying to totally get rid of your banana tree?
Watch the previous video 🫵🏻 That technique works better
I'm trying to get rid of 20 of them 😂😂
Mine are taking over my back yard, need to get rid of most of them.
I appreciate a man who can gracefully walk back a previous video!
Another great one Mr. Weedy! You excel in unique character and photography skills .. love the edit style! Shine on!! 🙂
My opinion on climbing that ladder is chop down and chop up all your tall banana varieties use them as mulch, and only grow the dwarf types,. The injury won't be worth it, just a matter of time. All dwarf types produce as much as tall types and they are safe and delicious.
Yes. I agree! I am eating from the first cluster of Thai and they taste like desert pudding!
Agreed, much less shade cast on neighboring plants/trees too. I did that on my farm too
@@Bali_permaculture I wanted to wait until they are all finished fruiting. I think I will transplant the Thai everywhere and take all the lady finger pups that come from now on until they are all harvested.
Hello Mr. Weedy,
I really like your content and presentation,
If you didn't know already, there are some dishes that can be made from Banana stems,
Please give these dishes a try.
Using the stem:
1. Vazhai thandu soup (Banana stem soup)

Awesome. I will try these. Thank you. Namaste 🙏🏻
Hi Weedy! When we grew bananas, we would just chop them as close to the bottom as possible, and add a thick layer of mulch on top. We never had pups grow back in that spot. I have tried it this way with water before, but it would be a breeding ground for mozzies where we are, so keep that in mind too. Love your videos! Happy Gardening :-)
I wish my pups were so big! I guess I'm being impacient as I'm only a few months in to our banana circle 🍌🍌🍌🍌
Oooor dip the whole tshirt in banana juice sonthe whole shirt gets stained. Hahah
😂
Here in Panama you chop the banana about 3 feet high so the stalk that contains water continues to feed the clump. When you cut down the next bananas you remove the previous ones stump that you left at three feet
Hi Weedy and all! Thanks for the content snd your good energy 😊 Something we do to make our banana supply last a bit bit longer is harvest only one or two hands of bananas at a time. That way we dont end up with a whole bunch ripening at once too.
Smart
great videos, you Australian people are very blessed to have such a good climate zone, here in Europe it's impossible to do what you do, unless maybe in south Spain and south Portugal.
We are way more dry than in Australia. In the past two years both Portugal and Spain have been facing severe droughts and our dams keep getting less and less water with every year. While its true we have a lot of sun, but we dont have enough water to naturaly produce something like what Weedy has built.
Good day to you Mr. Weedy. Greetings from Texas USA 🤠
👋🏻😃
Love from INDIA (tamil nadu)❤
love back 💜
keep up the good work Weedy. I look forward to your future videos and hoping your make more often.
I will try.
Redemption 😄 Such a wonderful video in sooo many ways. Thank you.
I just bought myself a weedy shirt so i can wear it with pride when we take our first trip to Australia this summer! Thank you for making such beautiful, inspiring, zen content for your earthling followers 💚💚💚
Ok r u teaching us to snuff banana pups or to become a sleeper agent bl’de-wielding a$$a$$in? 😂😂😂 cos the glint from your dagger and cleaver was cinematic and inviting 😂😂😂❤
Have you tried soaking your banana stained t-shirt in bicarbonate of soda and warm water before washing it??🤔😉😁🌱☀️
nope
Thank you for sharing this video! I want to try growing multiple dwarf varieties of bananas so this "oganic way" tip is greatly appreciated for my future plans.
Weedy, try squeezing washing up liquid and rub baking powder on your stains,let it settle overnight, I norm roll it up. Then wash, here it works for all kinds of stains. Sorry, I can't join Patron. I don't do online banking. So, I will still continue to support your channel by liking, sharing, and commenting. I love your inspirational videos on the love of Mother Nature that she gives us.
Kerosene and diesel are organic.
It's just they are complex carbon based types of organic molecules.
Those puppies breakdown fastest with Fungi.
Mushrooms can feed on the organic compounds and break down the lignins that bond those carbons together.
Water seems so much easier.

Best Episode.thanks Weedy I really do love it..I also love how you edit your clips...I learn from you and I am in Southern Africa 🇿🇦
I love editing!
Thankyou Weedy. 💚
Thankyou.
Tullamore Farm has a Banana workshop. Bill O'Sullivan and his wife Carol, are lovely.
Highly recommend. 😊
You can create interesting interference patterns with light, through banana leaves too, mate.
dried banana trunk lampshades!
We, here in India, use the banana leaves as a plate/dish to eat out of. You may keep a cutting from a banana leaf on your regular plate and then pile up your food on it. It will also reduce your washing efforts, as you can just throw the banana leaf away in compost.
That’s really cool. I did that sometimes, but our water is free and when we have plenty of it, it’s easier to use plates. When we have baked potatoes up here next time, I will use the banana leaf.
I always love your videos, Weedy. 💚
This is great tips on killing banana, hate doing with kerosine get messy and stink. Also wear black when dealing with banana so those stains not so noticeable
The terminology for banana stages is so adorable. Grannies and her pups lol - about to be gelded tho 😂❤
I wouldn't be too worried about the kero advice on banana pups, some of the organic puritans get a bit precious sometime, it wasn't much kero in the first place. Many of these types live in a bubble and have no idea what's really going on in the rest of the world which is where they should be focusing their protest energy. I doubt large scale commercial banana farmers are coming to your channel looking for advice on how to manage there crops which is where any potential real damage to environment could occur anyway. From my experience working in the offshore oil and gas industry anything the average good intentioned individual is doing in their backyard that is deemed not envoronmentally friendly is nothing compared to what I've seen been done by energy corportions as well as the average men and women in India, the Middle east and Sth Est Asia. It seems to me that only the developed nations are the ones envoronmental shaming people the rest of the world doen't seem to care. In any case isn't kero an organically derived hydrocarbon any way. I'm sure the volume you used combined with the infrequent use would break down in the soil in not much time. I do like the water method though and will give it a go on my own bananas. Thanks for sharing.

Helmet? 😂 That ladder was very high 😬
Weedy can you please do a complete video on worm casting harvesting...and banana tree fertilizer
I am definitely going to get rid of an abundance of banana pups. Great advice! Thank you. The bananas are spreading out, I cut one yesterday and thought -- GOT TO DIG THIS OUT. But your way is SO MUCH SIMPLER.
hey yo im from Sarawak Borneo Malaysia. i dont know why ur not on netflix series
They didn’t ask me yet!
You need to cut the flower off after it stops making bananas so that every thing gos to the fruit and when you harvest cut about ten inches down from the top slowly and your bunch of bananas will fold down so you can reach them..soon you will be able to judge how far down to cut ...
I like this technique much better than the kerosine method, thank you!!
TIP I’m a landscaper here in Florida and lots of people have banana trees and when we have to cut them down you should wear gloves because the juice from tree will stain your skin and and clothes like he said but the juice smells so bad it’s best not to get it on you it kinda smells like rotting meat and just stink
Funny I didn’t smell anything 🤔
I've never smelt anything bad when cutting our banana plants and been doing it for over 4 years now with a few different varieties
@@TheWeedyGarden idk what it is then they almost always smell bad when we cut them
@@CrisCam-u3f weird
@@MLGodzilla which variety?
clever, just basically following the opposite instructions for when you want to coppice a tree for regrowth (i know banana is not actually a tree but principle stands)
Love everything you share .. :) With love from Brunei:)
That fibonacci pattern in the trunk is a work of art! I would hang that on my wall!
yeah
@@TheWeedyGarden there's an idea, sell some prints of natural patterns.

Hey Zane... I live in PNW... know any banana varieties that will grow here.
@@emsey6097 I'm sorry to say I have no good suggestions for you at this time. It is a wonderful exercise to consider bananas establishing a foothold in the great PNW.
Who knows, if you start experimenting you might develop a new variety, given the next 40 years of climate change - you could corner the NA organic banana market with the Emsey Banana 🍌🤞🏼💞
That looked interesting! (how you organise your compost bins) 🤔
Yeah, and watch out for a video on them
Oh, I look forward to that!
Possums , bandicoots bush rats, dogs would drink our water in the pups.
gotta check and fill them back up. or cover it
I will try the water trick to get rid of pups. Didn't like the idea of using kerosene.
Brilliant😊
Hey Weedy! Cheers from Brazil, here's another way to harvest the bananas that might work for you ruclips.net/user/shortsrGV4w1IaLUk?feature=share the technique is too make a V shaped cut in the banana tree pointing to the direction you want it to fall. The remaining fibers will hold the weight of the plant while lowering the bananas
OMG! I would love the same energy and SKILL in my body!!!
I can do that on the next harvest!!! Maybe not so fast though 😅
It might just be worth noting, the reason why people use diesel, or kerosene, is because the water will breed mosquitoes. If you only have a few plants, you can splash the water away and refill it every few days to stop it though 😊
I LOVE your channel weedy. I've even moved to the northern rivers myself and am looking for a bush block to live our ideal lifestyle with my little family.
I love your videos so much. I just happen to be eating a banana while watching 😂
Enjoying💐💐💐
Do you have dwarf banana tree?
Beautiful video as always! ❤
Surely most tips from farmers will be financially focused or time saving. Show me a farm that’s got improved soil after a 100 years and I’ll pay attention. I’ve never taken a cup of water to fill the banana bowl. That made me smile, bananas are 90% water, they quickly fill the bowl themselves. You can also do the whole task with a large machete, you don’t need a set of knives.
I was thinking the same. The cup method is a standard method in Syntropic Agroforestry, and is also used when the greatgrandmother is cut down. The cup automatically fills with water, and prevents fungal diseases from entering the cut stem and spreading into your other banana plants. This video is all about that ruclips.net/video/zLadZYiLN-Q/видео.html
A very interesting video ,thank you 😊xxxShaz
I was wondering about the kerosene part on the previous video. It didn't seem to fit your way.
Thank you for the follow up.
I was cutting the young pup cleanly. It never grew back. It is a tedious way of doing it though.
Water indeed make other trees to root if wounded. Weird that I didn't think about it as I already knew that fact.
Like you said you can't possibly know everything. Anyone can. That's why we share with others. That way we all learn or remember !
I love my dwarf bananas, so much easier to manage
..Have you tried planting directly into banana stools(trunk)..awesome for leafy greens and so much more.
After harvesting bananas, cut cell(of a seedling punnet)-sized holes into sides and top of your horizontally located banana "trunk". Pick out and compost those little bits from the square hole..Plant direct from punnet without teasing roots out, a snug fit is good..Foliar feed\water first few days...Can be placed straight on prepared beds., adding nourishment and that black-goodness that decomposition of organic matter does..
So many ideas, not enough garden space...Hope you can have a play with that idea anyhow.
awesome tip 👍
Weedy, do you ever use your banana leaves as plates? Or to wrap things to cook in? And how do you eat all those bananas? That Fibonacci spiral was exquisite- thank you for sharing that image.
Only when we have spuds on the fire. With the amundance of bananas, we dry, freeze and eat fresh. The rest go to the neighbours. Eventually the bats will be allowed to have some that I don`t bag.
I will try the banana pup killing method, thank you
Most beautiful and informative video. Love the spiritual angle too.
Hey Weedy, how can I send you some seeds? I have dwarf pigeon peas that within 2 ft tall start producing and very fast. They only have stay under 5 ft for almos 2 years and don’t stop producing at all. Lmk ❤much love man thank you for everything!!!!!
Wow yeah. my website contact start point via email 👍
The leaves are excellent for cooking.
Fabulous as always Mr. Weedy, love it
Thank you, Weedy! And Teddy approves of a more organic garden.
Sharing caring bet gorilla's lov bananas
your just not a farmer. you absolutely A Professor. i cant doubt it.
Hey Weedy ! I want to do my best weedy impression harvesting tomatoes from USA on my new RUclips channel this week! Would you be ok with that? I'll link the video to your channel, love what you do! You have been a big inspiration for us here to start our own weedy adventure on RUclips! Great videos! Your an awesome artist!
That sounds fun. Yes sure. Do your best 😃 lol and ha ha 🎥
How’s the flow hive going?
Full and well 👍
Another amazing video! Thank you weedy!
Thank YOU too Sam 😁

This is a banana food forest from New Zealand, same type of banana you are growing? Interesting the size difference of the trees though as they cut the tree down as well to get the bananas. Wonder if you could use the tool they use for cutting the leaves to make your tree smaller in size to bring down safer around your other trees?
Yes. The Lady Finger. And also yes, I have discovered the easier way to harvest 😊
Amazing solution!! 😍
Hi weedy you only need 1 knife when you cut it down you just need to cut an X over the center so it doesn't grow back
That does not stop them
Rabbit pooh is the best fertiliser but I noticed in India the biggest Ganga plants grew where the pooh output pipe ended on the slope.
alpacca poo is also gold
Did you know you can actually cook the banana trunks. Not the outer layer but the one inside. 😊
I did hear that, but don’t know how yet
@@TheWeedyGarden I’ll ask my Amma (mom) and will let you know 🫡
Thanks
Yay Tianya! 🥳🥳🥳 You are officially the first person to use the thanks button. You deserve a banana pup !
Can't believe no one has before! You deserve support, I love what you are doing
I really appreciate it Tianya 💜😊
Fantastic as always thanks!!!
Weedy. I appreciate you work. This was really COOL. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for sharing your talents in content & stellar filming. Another thing banana leaves are good for is wrapping food up in it and cooking it by steaming. Everything tastes better wrapped in banana leaves. Happy weedy!
I am going to do that next time I cook in the coals! 💪🏻👍
Thanks Weedy keep up the good work mate your videos are great.
Help me understand why we are killing the young trees?
Explained on previous video 😃
Powerful and beautiful words as always, You wanted a inspiration RUclips channel and most of us will attest that its one of the best if not the most inspirational gardening channel. rejoice and be glad, you are loved and respected.
Hey Weedy, Love seeing your content. How small is the smallest bannana tree I have a pretty big greenhouse, but otherwise that delicious fruit wont grow here in the pacific north west. although the weather is so crazy who knows... As always, love your content and seeing your love of mother earth. Oh im a chinese medicine practitioner so I LOVE Lao Tzo. Many wise words!!! Hugs Bro.
Hey Emsey. Well The ones I have you can see. They are just a bit taller than me
@@TheWeedyGarden OK...... now im gonna have to rewatch!!! HA!
Fabulous video!!! Love the honesty!!! We NEED to remove the stumps. We still have rotted stumps from 5 years ago.
Thank you for the reminder..I was having an anxiety attack by dwelling on the future instead of living in the present…
lol 😂
Ok sir, banana juice…. But have u cut down Punga with its jelly sap and itchy hairs 😂😂😂 I look like a hairy wild sweaty muddy hog after chopping one down
Your videos make me smile and you have enriched my knowledge! Thank you, David! God bless!
🍌😍
The film teaser is worth watching several times! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thanks for your self correcting honesty! I love your vids and will try this pup technique on my own little bananas here in Florida!
a few weeks later the pup is rotten 👍
Here pups are getting c’lled and I’m here wishing I had them sprouting forever in batten backyard 😫
Great stuff Weedy. What a bloody brilliant idea that water trick is to rot a banana pup 👌👍
Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
I must admit I’ve sometimes been hesitant to write a tip or a trick that I’ve learned in the garden but thanks for letting us all know the comments and knowledge sharing is welcomed ❤️
Weedy, your videos are always a work of art, fully enjoyable. But as you're looking for new things to explore and show us, please, PLEASE, don't fall into the trap that other youtubers do; to keep a steady schedule of weekly uploads, they sacrifice content, quality, and lean hard on stock footage and shallow topics, etc. Take your time, make the great content you always have. Even if it's once a month, or once ever six months, when I see a weedy garden video on my front page, it's always a treat. It's the quality content that lasts years on youtube.
If you're looking for ideas, what sorts of other setbacks have you had (I really enjoyed the teddy vs turkeys)? Did you fight off diseases on your plants? Have you tried grafting various types of fruit branches onto a root stock? What about alternatives to the amendments you're adding to your soil, what else is there? Have you done soil tests? Also, where do you want your youtube channel to go? Your story telling and editing are what drew me in and I loved every minute of it, but gardening is a finite topic (unless you want to get scientific). You've done some cooking on the channel, perhaps pull on this thread some more? Hope this sparks an idea or two.
Thanks for that Mark. Never short of ideas, just short for time 😊
A True Master
Love the video!
This is gold I so needed this …..thank you
You are so welcome
Love You Weedy!!!
Your videos never fail to inspire when inspiration is needed.
That's your banana shirt now...
yes. lol
How sweet to add another’s tips into the videos I love that man!! ❤🎉 so sweet!
You might consider just cutting the pup pff and transplanting it into a different spot or giving it to a friend!
Yeah. I’ve got a fifth pup about that size and I can’t bring myself to cut it down so I’ll try to separate it and transplant it
lol. I did that for the first year, now I have 12 clusters coming on at once and I’m going to have to now remove some as I have too many. Composting them is my best option!
