- You WILL see how to kill a banana pup when you watch this video...and you need to do that if you`re going to grow bananas. It`s needless to say that it`s the organic way.
Don`t panic - it`s organic!

I appreciate a man who can gracefully walk back a previous video!
Anyone else here because they are trying to totally get rid of your banana tree?
Watch the previous video 🫵🏻 That technique works better
I'm trying to get rid of 20 of them 😂😂
Another great one Mr. Weedy! You excel in unique character and photography skills .. love the edit style! Shine on!! 🙂
I just bought myself a weedy shirt so i can wear it with pride when we take our first trip to Australia this summer! Thank you for making such beautiful, inspiring, zen content for your earthling followers 💚💚💚
Here in Panama you chop the banana about 3 feet high so the stalk that contains water continues to feed the clump. When you cut down the next bananas you remove the previous ones stump that you left at three feet
Hi Weedy! When we grew bananas, we would just chop them as close to the bottom as possible, and add a thick layer of mulch on top. We never had pups grow back in that spot. I have tried it this way with water before, but it would be a breeding ground for mozzies where we are, so keep that in mind too. Love your videos! Happy Gardening :-)
Weedy, try squeezing washing up liquid and rub baking powder on your stains,let it settle overnight, I norm roll it up. Then wash, here it works for all kinds of stains. Sorry, I can't join Patron. I don't do online banking. So, I will still continue to support your channel by liking, sharing, and commenting. I love your inspirational videos on the love of Mother Nature that she gives us.
My opinion on climbing that ladder is chop down and chop up all your tall banana varieties use them as mulch, and only grow the dwarf types,. The injury won't be worth it, just a matter of time. All dwarf types produce as much as tall types and they are safe and delicious.
Yes. I agree! I am eating from the first cluster of Thai and they taste like desert pudding!
Agreed, much less shade cast on neighboring plants/trees too. I did that on my farm too
@@Bali_permaculture I wanted to wait until they are all finished fruiting. I think I will transplant the Thai everywhere and take all the lady finger pups that come from now on until they are all harvested.
Redemption 😄 Such a wonderful video in sooo many ways. Thank you.
I am definitely going to get rid of an abundance of banana pups. Great advice! Thank you. The bananas are spreading out, I cut one yesterday and thought -- GOT TO DIG THIS OUT. But your way is SO MUCH SIMPLER.
Good day to you Mr. Weedy. Greetings from Texas USA 🤠
👋🏻😃
I always love your videos, Weedy. 💚
How sweet to add another’s tips into the videos I love that man!! ❤🎉 so sweet!
I like this technique much better than the kerosine method, thank you!!
Fabulous video!!! Love the honesty!!! We NEED to remove the stumps. We still have rotted stumps from 5 years ago.
Fabulous as always Mr. Weedy, love it
Best Episode.thanks Weedy I really do love it..I also love how you edit your clips...I learn from you and I am in Southern Africa 🇿🇦
I love editing!
great videos, you Australian people are very blessed to have such a good climate zone, here in Europe it's impossible to do what you do, unless maybe in south Spain and south Portugal.
We are way more dry than in Australia. In the past two years both Portugal and Spain have been facing severe droughts and our dams keep getting less and less water with every year. While its true we have a lot of sun, but we dont have enough water to naturaly produce something like what Weedy has built.
The film teaser is worth watching several times! Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Weedy and all! Thanks for the content snd your good energy 😊 Something we do to make our banana supply last a bit bit longer is harvest only one or two hands of bananas at a time. That way we dont end up with a whole bunch ripening at once too.
Smart
That fibonacci pattern in the trunk is a work of art! I would hang that on my wall!
yeah
@@TheWeedyGarden there's an idea, sell some prints of natural patterns.
Thank you, Weedy! And Teddy approves of a more organic garden.
Love You Weedy!!!
Wow, I love the information you share and the beauty of your videos!
Thank you for sharing this video! I want to try growing multiple dwarf varieties of bananas so this "oganic way" tip is greatly appreciated for my future plans.
North American Organic Hyper-local Farmers LOVE to see your work 🙏🏼
Keep producing, I'll keep harvesting and gleaning.
🌎🌏🌍🕊️ For us all ✨
Hey Zane... I live in PNW... know any banana varieties that will grow here.
@@emsey6097 I'm sorry to say I have no good suggestions for you at this time. It is a wonderful exercise to consider bananas establishing a foothold in the great PNW.
Who knows, if you start experimenting you might develop a new variety, given the next 40 years of climate change - you could corner the NA organic banana market with the Emsey Banana 🍌🤞🏼💞
your just not a farmer. you absolutely A Professor. i cant doubt it.
Helmet? 😂 That ladder was very high 😬
Beautiful video as always! ❤
Thankyou Weedy. 💚
Thankyou.
Tullamore Farm has a Banana workshop. Bill O'Sullivan and his wife Carol, are lovely.
Highly recommend. 😊
You can create interesting interference patterns with light, through banana leaves too, mate.
dried banana trunk lampshades!
This is gold I so needed this …..thank you
You are so welcome
Thanks Weedy keep up the good work mate your videos are great.
Love everything you share .. :) With love from Brunei:)
Most beautiful and informative video. Love the spiritual angle too.
It might just be worth noting, the reason why people use diesel, or kerosene, is because the water will breed mosquitoes. If you only have a few plants, you can splash the water away and refill it every few days to stop it though 😊
I LOVE your channel weedy. I've even moved to the northern rivers myself and am looking for a bush block to live our ideal lifestyle with my little family.
Weedy. I appreciate you work. This was really COOL. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
We, here in India, use the banana leaves as a plate/dish to eat out of. You may keep a cutting from a banana leaf on your regular plate and then pile up your food on it. It will also reduce your washing efforts, as you can just throw the banana leaf away in compost.
That’s really cool. I did that sometimes, but our water is free and when we have plenty of it, it’s easier to use plates. When we have baked potatoes up here next time, I will use the banana leaf.
Another amazing video! Thank you weedy!
Thank YOU too Sam 😁
keep up the good work Weedy. I look forward to your future videos and hoping your make more often.
I will try.
Your videos make me smile and you have enriched my knowledge! Thank you, David! God bless!
Oooor dip the whole tshirt in banana juice sonthe whole shirt gets stained. Hahah
😂
Thanks for your self correcting honesty! I love your vids and will try this pup technique on my own little bananas here in Florida!
a few weeks later the pup is rotten 👍
The banana stem (inner layer)is edible. It is supposed to cleanse your stomach. One way we eat is dipping it in salt water with ginger and green chilly for a couple of days.
And then fry or just eat raw like salad?
Amazing solution!! 😍
Your videos never fail to inspire when inspiration is needed.
Love the video!
..Have you tried planting directly into banana stools(trunk)..awesome for leafy greens and so much more.
After harvesting bananas, cut cell(of a seedling punnet)-sized holes into sides and top of your horizontally located banana "trunk". Pick out and compost those little bits from the square hole..Plant direct from punnet without teasing roots out, a snug fit is good..Foliar feed\water first few days...Can be placed straight on prepared beds., adding nourishment and that black-goodness that decomposition of organic matter does..
So many ideas, not enough garden space...Hope you can have a play with that idea anyhow.
awesome tip 👍
Kerosene and diesel are organic.
It's just they are complex carbon based types of organic molecules.
Those puppies breakdown fastest with Fungi.
Mushrooms can feed on the organic compounds and break down the lignins that bond those carbons together.
Water seems so much easier.
❤H2O
Powerful and beautiful words as always, You wanted a inspiration CZcams channel and most of us will attest that its one of the best if not the most inspirational gardening channel. rejoice and be glad, you are loved and respected.
Fantastic as always thanks!!!
Love from INDIA (tamil nadu)❤
love back 💜
I am learning sooo much!!
Thank you 😊
Weedy can you please do a complete video on worm casting harvesting...and banana tree fertilizer
You need to cut the flower off after it stops making bananas so that every thing gos to the fruit and when you harvest cut about ten inches down from the top slowly and your bunch of bananas will fold down so you can reach them..soon you will be able to judge how far down to cut ...
Thank you for sharing your talents in content & stellar filming. Another thing banana leaves are good for is wrapping food up in it and cooking it by steaming. Everything tastes better wrapped in banana leaves. Happy weedy!
I am going to do that next time I cook in the coals! 💪🏻👍
A True Master
I love your videos so much. I just happen to be eating a banana while watching 😂
Weedy, your videos are always a work of art, fully enjoyable. But as you're looking for new things to explore and show us, please, PLEASE, don't fall into the trap that other youtubers do; to keep a steady schedule of weekly uploads, they sacrifice content, quality, and lean hard on stock footage and shallow topics, etc. Take your time, make the great content you always have. Even if it's once a month, or once ever six months, when I see a weedy garden video on my front page, it's always a treat. It's the quality content that lasts years on youtube.
If you're looking for ideas, what sorts of other setbacks have you had (I really enjoyed the teddy vs turkeys)? Did you fight off diseases on your plants? Have you tried grafting various types of fruit branches onto a root stock? What about alternatives to the amendments you're adding to your soil, what else is there? Have you done soil tests? Also, where do you want your youtube channel to go? Your story telling and editing are what drew me in and I loved every minute of it, but gardening is a finite topic (unless you want to get scientific). You've done some cooking on the channel, perhaps pull on this thread some more? Hope this sparks an idea or two.
Thanks for that Mark. Never short of ideas, just short for time 😊
Brilliant😊
Thank you for the reminder..I was having an anxiety attack by dwelling on the future instead of living in the present…
lol 😂
Rabbit pooh is the best fertiliser but I noticed in India the biggest Ganga plants grew where the pooh output pipe ended on the slope.
alpacca poo is also gold
Great stuff Weedy. What a bloody brilliant idea that water trick is to rot a banana pup 👌👍
Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
I must admit I’ve sometimes been hesitant to write a tip or a trick that I’ve learned in the garden but thanks for letting us all know the comments and knowledge sharing is welcomed ❤️
The leaves are excellent for cooking.
A very interesting video ,thank you 😊xxxShaz
I was wondering about the kerosene part on the previous video. It didn't seem to fit your way.
Thank you for the follow up.
I was cutting the young pup cleanly. It never grew back. It is a tedious way of doing it though.
Water indeed make other trees to root if wounded. Weird that I didn't think about it as I already knew that fact.
Like you said you can't possibly know everything. Anyone can. That's why we share with others. That way we all learn or remember !
💜🧡💛💚💙
This is great tips on killing banana, hate doing with kerosine get messy and stink. Also wear black when dealing with banana so those stains not so noticeable
I love my dwarf bananas, so much easier to manage
That looked interesting! (how you organise your compost bins) 🤔
Yeah, and watch out for a video on them
Oh, I look forward to that!
clever, just basically following the opposite instructions for when you want to coppice a tree for regrowth (i know banana is not actually a tree but principle stands)
Hey Weedy, Love seeing your content. How small is the smallest bannana tree I have a pretty big greenhouse, but otherwise that delicious fruit wont grow here in the pacific north west. although the weather is so crazy who knows... As always, love your content and seeing your love of mother earth. Oh im a chinese medicine practitioner so I LOVE Lao Tzo. Many wise words!!! Hugs Bro.
Hey Emsey. Well The ones I have you can see. They are just a bit taller than me
@@TheWeedyGarden OK...... now im gonna have to rewatch!!! HA!
That's your banana shirt now...
yes. lol
I wish my pups were so big! I guess I'm being impacient as I'm only a few months in to our banana circle 🍌🍌🍌🍌
After you cut the bowl in the stem it will fill with juice by it’s self. You don’t need to pour in water.
Weedy, do you ever use your banana leaves as plates? Or to wrap things to cook in? And how do you eat all those bananas? That Fibonacci spiral was exquisite- thank you for sharing that image.
Only when we have spuds on the fire. With the amundance of bananas, we dry, freeze and eat fresh. The rest go to the neighbours. Eventually the bats will be allowed to have some that I don`t bag.
Enjoying💐💐💐
Do you have dwarf banana tree?
TIP I’m a landscaper here in Florida and lots of people have banana trees and when we have to cut them down you should wear gloves because the juice from tree will stain your skin and and clothes like he said but the juice smells so bad it’s best not to get it on you it kinda smells like rotting meat and just stink
Funny I didn’t smell anything 🤔
I've never smelt anything bad when cutting our banana plants and been doing it for over 4 years now with a few different varieties
@@TheWeedyGarden idk what it is then they almost always smell bad when we cut them
@@user-mq8zi9qx8p weird
@@MLGodzilla which variety?
🍌😍
Surely most tips from farmers will be financially focused or time saving. Show me a farm that’s got improved soil after a 100 years and I’ll pay attention. I’ve never taken a cup of water to fill the banana bowl. That made me smile, bananas are 90% water, they quickly fill the bowl themselves. You can also do the whole task with a large machete, you don’t need a set of knives.
I was thinking the same. The cup method is a standard method in Syntropic Agroforestry, and is also used when the greatgrandmother is cut down. The cup automatically fills with water, and prevents fungal diseases from entering the cut stem and spreading into your other banana plants. This video is all about that czcams.com/video/zLadZYiLN-Q/video.html
Hey Weedy ! I want to do my best weedy impression harvesting tomatoes from USA on my new CZcams channel this week! Would you be ok with that? I'll link the video to your channel, love what you do! You have been a big inspiration for us here to start our own weedy adventure on CZcams! Great videos! Your an awesome artist!
That sounds fun. Yes sure. Do your best 😃 lol and ha ha 🎥
I will try the water trick to get rid of pups. Didn't like the idea of using kerosene.
How’s the flow hive going?
Full and well 👍
Hi weedy you only need 1 knife when you cut it down you just need to cut an X over the center so it doesn't grow back
That does not stop them
Hello Mr. Weedy,
I really like your content and presentation,

Awesome. I will try these. Thank you. Namaste 🙏🏻
Sharing caring bet gorilla's lov bananas
there is no need to use a ladder to take the banana, the banana tree will not bear fruit twice, but the banana tree must be cut down first, the cutting method must be at the bottom once, so only then will the new tree grow and bear fruit again
Hey weedy, I usually don't comment too often but I love to watch your videos and really like your cinematic scenes. But if I had the possibility to ask you one thing to try to avoid:
At 0:40 for a few seconds when you're showing the knife, you turn it repeatedly to reflect sunlight into the camera lens. These glaring effects are really straining on my eyes and can trigger a migraine, which can last for three days for me.
It triggered at least an aura on my left eye for a few minutes now and I'm having trouble enjoying the rest of your video.
Thanks in advance and keep on growing
what kind of. chemical used ?
None. Only water
hey yo im from Sarawak Borneo Malaysia. i dont know why ur not on netflix series
They didn’t ask me yet!
🌿😊💙
I will try the banana pup killing method, thank you
Help me understand why we are killing the young trees?
Explained on previous video 😃
❣
Have you tried soaking your banana stained t-shirt in bicarbonate of soda and warm water before washing it??🤔😉😁🌱☀️
nope
Possums , bandicoots bush rats, dogs would drink our water in the pups.
gotta check and fill them back up. or cover it
Can you take the pup off and move it some where else? I have ice cream bananas growing 3 in a circle with a pup forming on one and i thought i was supposed to keep it there.
Watch the vid before this one dear 😊
Hey Weedy, how can I send you some seeds? I have dwarf pigeon peas that within 2 ft tall start producing and very fast. They only have stay under 5 ft for almos 2 years and don’t stop producing at all. Lmk ❤much love man thank you for everything!!!!!
Wow yeah. my website contact start point via email 👍
Thanks
Yay Tianya! 🥳🥳🥳 You are officially the first person to use the thanks button. You deserve a banana pup !
Can't believe no one has before! You deserve support, I love what you are doing
I really appreciate it Tianya 💜😊
David we love all your videos and together we learn from each other 🌸 You are an inspiration 🌿 Thank you ☺️☺️
One of the good things about this video is the sound of the Magpies. There's a problem with being a CZcams member : it isn't free, number one, as you say and two, you need some form of digital paying ability, which I do not have. So, I'll just invent the updates according to my imagination, based on your CZcams videos and astute observation ability.
