Growing Bananas

Growing bananas does not take much effort, but it does require that you get a few things right when you first get started.

Banana plants can offer many benefits:

• They make great windbreaks or screens,
• they can keep the sun of the hot western side of your house,
• they utilize the water and nutrients in waste drains (think washing water or outdoor shower),
• the leaves can be fed to horses, cows and other grazers,
• the dried remains of the trunks can be used for weaving baskets and mats.
