If your low spot has more dirt there than other places then bananas would be ideal in that area. They love mucky deep dirt. Maybe taro there too.
Your papayas pineapples and bananas growing on the pahoehoe would all benefit from a large mound of mulch at their base. If the plant cannot have a wide deep hole dug then building up around it with organic matter is a good option. If you really want a plant to thrive get some livestock. Guinea pigs or rabbits in big mobile cage next to your favorite plant will do it wonders as their waste fall and feed the foliage. Other good store-bought organic fertilizers are 888 complehumus or the 4-4-5 pellet. Store bought chicken manures may claim to be organic but I'm wary. Who knows what hormones are feed to those birds.
Another good amendment to added mulch and soil around your plants would be biochar to hold all the nutrients longer.
