Traditional banana mulching in Uganda. Note: Mulch should be applied at least 60-90 cm away from the banana stowl in order to encourage banana to have more vertical roots: when mulch is applied close to bananan stowl, it encourages development of more superficial lateral roots, which do not held the plant firmly against wind and exposes the plants to water shortage during short dry spell.
