| we then loosened up the base of the bananas, mulched the trees, and planted beneficial plant guilds around the young trees. We chose Pidgeon pea as a good structural plant...to block any winds coming from the back- and also to add some nitrogen to the soil, comfry around the base of the bananas serves as not only a good dynamic accumulator but also as a good source of instant mulch, and nasturtiums keep the nematodes and pests away while adding beauty to the guild. |
