Bananas are Huge!
My banana trees in the bedroom are touching the ceiling. The planter has just gone crazy in less than a year. We are moving in to winter and I live in a tropical jungle...with no heating bill.
I am in complete AWWWWEEE when it comes to graywater greenhouses, but have no idea how to incorporate that into the house we are building! We are building a berm type house on our land in TN. I would appreciate any information that you can offer on the graywater system!
Things to do - My 18 yr old son helped some folks dig up a banana root ball they have been trying to get rid of. They said they thought it was some kind of lady finger variety grows 10-12ft. They had been cutting it down every time it grew back because they didn't want it next to their house and it was too much for them to dig up by themselves. Didn't get a chance to take a pic before my son put it in the ground but it was about 3ft by 2ft root very heavy....
I guess these are a bunch of babies growing from it?
I have spent the past 16 years building completely off-grid, autonomous homes called Earthships. I have built my own Earthship which took eight years to complete. I have worked on over 50 different Earthship projects in the US, Jamaica, Mexico, Belgium, Scotland, Spain, England and France. My dream: I want to help build and live in an Earthship city some day...
