Papaya,banana and other small tree starters

[Hotzcatz]

Bananas sort of naturally make their own mulch with the amount of leaves they drop off. If I get tired of the messy hanging dead leaf look an untended banana plant has, I'll cut the leaves off but leave them at the base of the plant. Around here they also get a light bit of chicken and rabbit manure, but that's just when the coop and cages are being cleaned out.
