fertilizer

14 years ago

What ratios of nutrients to you use in your fertilizers? I assume that the potassium needs to be pretty high. I have been using 8-8-8 and they did well last year but I want to encourage fruit. I have seen recommendations of 20-0-20 etc. Thanks, Woods

I have not used any fertilizer at all since we planted the Banana Trees 4 years ago. I feel the soil has been slowly getting depleated of nutrients.
