Banana Circles

- Banana circles give you maximum banana production with minimal care. In this video I'll show you just how well my banana circles work and with almost zero maintenance. The circles can be large or small but what they share in common is a central pit for nutrition and outer mound for planting.

If you like the content I produce and would like to help support this channel there is one really easy way and it won't cost you anything. By using one of my Amazon links below any time you begin your shopping I will get a small referral reward even if you don't buy the product listed (when an item is purchased). These little bits add up and help me to buy more garden items to make more videos!
You can use my general amazon link (amzn.to/3qjBw6K) or check out one of the tools below. These are tools I use every day in my garden and highly recommend.
Tree saw - this Silky Professional F180 has a comfortable grip and cuts through branches with ease. I use this for things too large for the pruners. To date there is no rust on it, I put a loop of paracord through the hole in tha handle to make it easier to hang. Link: amzn.to/35Mb77Z
Pruners - The Felco F-2 Pruners are the choice of gardening experts everywhere. They seem to last forever, if you are a real heavy user you can buy replacement blades and make them like new again. Link: amzn.to/3qjzgMO
Snippers - For more precise work such as cutting delicate leaves off of new starts, these Corona stainless steel snippers work great. They have a long narrow blade to get into the tight spots on your seedlings or to prune smaller plants. Link: amzn.to/2TZmk2B
Trowel - Now this isn't really classified as a trowel but the Corona Scopp is my everyday all prupose tool that I probably use more than anything else (besides the pruners). This is not the best for digging in the soil but I don't really do much of that in my food forest. This is an excellent tool for potting, which I do a lot of. It holds a lot more than a traditional trowel and is a very well built tool. I've left it out in the rain many times and no rust. Link: amzn.to/3zRa5We
Knife - This Morakniv knife has held up well, it stays sharp and while the blade has lost its bright color it has not rusted. I use this for opening bags of soil and cutting ropes and twine. This knife is fairly inexpensive and includes a belt holster if you prefer to carry it that way. Link: amzn.to/3d9IPbD

Great video with clear detailed show and tell examples..! Thank you very much..!
What varieties are you growing?
Hua Moa, Dwarf Cavendish, and Ice Cream in the circles. I've also got Truly Tiny, Goldfinger, Grand Nain, Plantains, and a few others scattered around. I'll probably add some new banana circles soon as the plants do so much better there.

Planning on it!
Squirrels don't eat bananas. What's eating your bananas are the possums and raccoons at night. I have over 250 banana trees of 12 different varieties in my property and plenty of squirrels. As long as you don't let them ripen on the tree, the possums and raccoons will leave them alone.
@S Silva (Suds) Yes!!! Thank you. I forgot about those dudes.
I can confirm 100% my squirrels do. I've watched them many times running away with banana in their mouth. I'll put up a game camera and see if I can get some clips.
@@GardeningSolutions Are they carrying green or ripened ones?
@@MasterKenfucius they run away with ripe or nearly ripe fruit peeled out from the banana. They tend to scratch up and open a lot of unripened ones looking for the ones they want so it ruins most of the bunch.
@@GardeningSolutions I harvest the bunch as soon as the first banana starts to turn yellow. Maybe that's why my squirrel gangs haven't learned to take advantage of them yet.
I don’t like squirrels, at all!
