Dr. Russell Sharp explores a new grow media made from banana plant trunks developed by Banana Bloom/Southeastern Fiber. The episode covers the material's hydrophilic re-wetting ability, durability, water-holding capacity, and potential as a mix with other media. Benefits include using an agricultural waste product, lower carbon footprint compared with cocoa, and reduced need for chemical processing. Dr. Sharp also clarifies this product is a growing media—not a fertilizer—and discusses practical uses and limitations for hydroponic systems.
