Bananas & Plantains : Royal Species of Productive, Strong and Friendly Foods
So much can be said for this fast growing food! We grow lots of bananas and plantains here at the Nutritional Diversity & Permaculture farm in Panama. They are strong fast growers and along with papayas area a great starting canopy for shrubs and other smaller sized plants. Perennials, and productive at that, these are the largest herbaceous flowering plants.
The fruits are staple starches for many tropical populations, and the leaves are great for serving, and wrapping other food material for steaming or baking.
Eat a banana in the gym and during study for her b6 vitamins, potassium, and other vitamins and minerals.
On the farm a fella can get rolling with bananas. I really like them because we get a lot of cover material or til-less bed topping off of banana trees and there a lot of functional tricks I know to double up production. The trunks of harvested banana plants are great for terrace making. The “banana circles,” are the popular mention of late among permaculture designers that report up to 8x the production using this method. The most common circles are described as 4 to ten meter, I have a few circles at different diameters even one about 25 feet across with a 7 foot high compost stack in the middle of it now. Here they reside on terraces and flat lands also. I fertilize our terraces often and the banana do very well there. They do well on regular hills also on flat grounds. Once we get our babies in around this big heap with large tree work wood in the center we will torch (it has been twice already) it and then pile it again and then cover the entire 25 foot circle in pumpkins and plant a female durian or jackfruit tree in the center.
Chiquita bananas plantations are a 45 minute 5$ speed boat trip from the island I am now, and I have seen the ships load up with container after container countless times, in the Almirante. Panama port.
Another Growing trick I like to do, is to chip away small sides from the base of the banana tree, which stimulates more baby rhizome shoots, for crop doubling, or now quadrupling. Remove and transplant these rhizomes and all seed planting, and other transplanting on new moon to first quarter moon. I plant at the top of a hill or terrace sequence first and work my way down to speed production of the overall crop. Another thing I really like about bananas is there quick use of liquid nutrients, which is a large amount of our homemade fertilizer production is very liquid. I fertilize all the time with an 80% water / 20% plant material, compost sun tea in large 20 gallon clear plastic tanks. We through everything in these things, scorpions, cucarachas, fruit peels and tops, egg shells, dog poo and quarter pitchers of Nutritional Diversity Batidos!
“Good design depends on a free and harmonious relationship to nature and people, in which careful observation and thoughtful interaction provide the design inspiration, repertoire and patterns.” -Permaculture ‘co-originator’ David Holmgren
I find the best growths with bananas generally, is on a one inch raise, on a well draining slope with the banana circle form or terrace form, with ginger root planted around the base in a dedicated two foot covered and tended zone. The way I treat this zone, is by adding various fertilization elements after my base chipping procedure. I will dump a bag of beach sand, rake a pile of postured and sunned cut grass around, dig away a piece of earth from it’s base and throw in a shovel of super black sledge from an irrigation channel nearby. I will shove small twigs in around, and place rotting wood branches as Lincoln Logs in a square. If ever I am frustrated I will run around with the axe, and bash the wood up more and more. A time later, I have such good soil around these guys, every vine from the jungle is coming in after them much faster even if 20 feet away. For this I am building a dog run by cable to establish a no grow zone and extra security border for the farm on that dense jungle side. The only thing that scares me there, is the Fertilance, snake one of the most venomous snakes in the world- I think they will keep their distance from the large Pit Bull dogs.
Of-course, if you take your time and dig large holes in your terraces, and fill those holes with chop and food scrap and old wood pieces, and form large composts there, and then plant your bananas, the result’s are astounding.
Another permaculture use of the banana tree I imagined for an area is to hold large wood pieces for ground leveling, and at the same time path lining. I am using a row of banana trees who have grown well and in sync together I notice, to hold large logs from branches we cut away from the house. I will then fill in behind the logs, and once level plant peanut grass to take over and hold it clear of other growths. Then we will cut back the jungle a bit more on the other side of the bath and again line it with bananas, but this time in between each tree we will add cassava, red torch ginger, turmeric, backed by coconut trees to make a firm wall against jungle growth.
In Tamil Nadu, the banana is referred to as one of the three ‘royal fruits,’ along with mango and jackfruit, for their sweetness and flavor. This triad of fruits is referred to as ma-pala-vazhai. I have selected these Royal Fruits, a Royal Herb, and ‘Angels Fruit‘ to name a few of my selects for my ‘Royal & Angelic’ tropical Nutritional Diversity this training season.
We are working with the North American Hopi three sisters permaculture technique, using plantains instead of corn and planting with pumpkin squash and bean plants.
The goal for us with our plantain and banana crops next is to dehydrate half of them. The best way to do this, is to wait until they are black, protecting them from insects of course, and even to have a few white mold spots appear on the shell. Then peel it and dehydrate it either by sun or by dehydrator. I saw a good one build for around 60 bucks using an electric stove coil and old computer fan. I prefer to do it on a sun day in a insect netted box on tin foil. Then I refrigerate them in plastic bags for gifts. Better than fruit roll ups, seriously healthy stuff and great for camping pack too.
An unfortunate history, brought forth and unfortunate change in the banana I am sad to say. The banana we eat, has no seeds that actually grow, and are pretty much a genetically modified banana, the plantain has undergone the same changes. They are effectively sterile mutant species. Every banana eaten is an exact clone of the last, and we spread them by rhizome transplanting only. The original species had many more seeds, perfectly round little black BB gun pellet looking things that could crack a modern day human tooth.
Until the 1960’s a different banana was the choice, until mono-culture cropping allowed for the infestation of what we now call the Panama Disease. The near extincted by the pathogen species that died largely at that time was the GrosMicheal. The new banana is known as the Gavandish. Permaculture farming models can grow either or both specie with little problems.

UNCHAINING HEALTH, AND 35 MILLION KIDS IN ABUSIVE CAPTIVITY THROUGH BRAINWASHING RIGHT NEAR YOU!
A most unfortunate story I never wanted to tell, I never wanted to experience, I would truly still wish on no man…
Law of Polarity: I gained an intense remedy through the fierce pain of my spirit.
By saying where the pain was, I am also talking about the remedy for exactly that pain, gained through that very experience.
All challenges are opportunities to build strength.
I just repeat this over and over throughout my day,
There is so much I was unable to tell about my story in this two-hour podcast like, my experience with how pills to kids are wrong.
It’s crazy that in our culture I have to explain that. That I ever had to live it at all.
It is quite an evil reach to get where we are. You won’t know that until you are grounded in nature.
That process of recalibrating with the natural rhythms and cognitions takes a long time. A deep venture in all ways.
When you are fighting such injustice, and you have educated yourself by the specialists on how damaging this is for children, and you see that there is nothing that you can do, in fact, the punishment for trying to assert your right is a gradual worsening of the lies told, a new form of false accusation or dirty trick (which they have so many and they are used in these unfortunate cases of trafficking for profit; so much), in essence, the knowledge that whatever attempt to contact the child will cause their abuser to turn up the volume will keep the good parent at bay. That good parent knows any contact will be exploited and twisted, and at least today I can say I have had zero hand in what has happened. Not only did I educate myself on how damaging this is (mistake 1 for alienated parents), I sent it all to the abuser. I made a few support groups that shared that information, and they harassed the groups. Another facilitator of support groups contacted me, explaining this “Jerry Springer Family,” also obsessively harassed him thinking I was the administrator of his group. I watched at the same time this ‘alienator” make fake Facebook and stalk her own family with them to make it seem like it was me. All this childishness worked. It is a masterpiece of child abuse and deception of everyone around the situation. My ex-girlfriend’s entire family was stalked for a decade.
The intention is to completely destroy the person, and this is usually because the “parasite no longer has the host!”
Young men and women should be educated about these damages, and anyone engaging in this “witchcraft,” is responsible for child devastation – this intense obsessive abuse, with the illest of intentions, is horrible sabotage to a young life.
They think their abuser is their hero. This is the evidence of the daily brainwashing, extreme daily psychological/spiritual child abuse.
They will think that into truth 1000 ways before they finally:
PASS their DENIAL of THE TRUTH. …!!!!
Sound familiar?
Impact
Even feeding the microbiome one time this way, can start underlining the ability to think clearly and productively and then engage reasonably with self-construction tactics and practices that lead to total recovery. We have hosted Nutritionally Diverse Meet-ups in the past for this purpose.
Community Building
We have a nutritional community that comes with one one-on-one guidance from an experienced practitioner of the ACTUAL HEALTH SYSTEM. Not to mention the effects this demand could have on the world.
Join the team, make a difference 1 for your loved ones, 2 for yourself, 3 for the world 💥💥💥

Another fun history and reason naturalists may enjoy this project is that Nutritional Diversity .com has been around the whole kidnapping as a way to share nature, and wholesomeness in hopes that it could defeat some other kind of inventive storytelling that was regular practice for the kidnappers. If you click on the Hailey Tropical Farm link in the menu you can see some of that history there.
It also served as a distraction, to the stalking, and harassing while I had no kid of theirs people; who did commit award-winning criminal harassment on like everyone I know.. recruited a few too!! It is impressive!!
Anyone who waists their time and talent on such a horrible endeavor, like my once princesses or like 50’s oldest son’s mother should ………….
Now at least from a distance, I can show the power of long-term commitment as I turn the site into something else.
If the child exhibits the extreme effects/results outlined in the clinical outlines for this heinous daily spiritual child abuse — GUESS WHY!!?!???
…did you stand by it? Did you help, enable it?
I actually do pray for you.
We are swimming hard in the other direction!!! LIGHT PLEASE!!! Join us.
Nutritional Diversity .com is now a community that is dedicated to advancing health at a household level. Taking full responsibility for your diet and relationship with nature is one of many things we came here to do! That could not be more clear today.

Abstract
Guerilla Permaculture Powered by Drones and Walking Tesla Robots: The Future of Earth’s Regeneration
As the world faces unprecedented environmental and agricultural crises, the idea of *guerilla permaculture*—an innovative, eco-restorative system of agriculture—has evolved into a necessity for global survival. By integrating cutting-edge technology such as drones and walking Tesla robots, this approach presents a visionary solution to two of humanity’s most urgent problems: food security and climate change. These advanced tools, paired with the principles of permaculture, can serve as the planet’s saviors by enabling large-scale ecological restoration and sustainable food production.
Why Guerilla Permaculture Needs Drones and Walking Tesla Robots
1. Scaling Regeneration Efforts:
One of the greatest challenges in regenerative agriculture is the sheer scale of degraded land that needs to be restored. Manual labor, while effective on small scales, cannot meet the global demand for reforestation, soil regeneration, and food production quickly enough. Drones and walking robots can operate around the clock, covering vast areas of land with precision and speed. By automating essential permaculture tasks like seeding, watering, and distributing compost tea, these machines can scale guerilla permaculture efforts to restore ecosystems at a planetary level.
2. Accessing Hard-to-Reach Areas:
Drones and Tesla robots can navigate difficult terrains—such as mountainsides, forests, and urban environments—where human access may be limited. Drones can fly into high canopy layers, distributing seeds or spraying organic nutrients like compost tea over large areas. Walking robots, meanwhile, can traverse dense brush or rugged trails, performing tasks like planting saplings or tending to animal herds. This capability makes it possible to re-green neglected or underutilized spaces, transforming them into thriving ecosystems.
3. Precision Agriculture for Resource Efficiency:
The advanced technology of drones and robots allows for precise monitoring and application of resources, such as water, organic fertilizers, and compost tea. Equipped with sensors and AI, these machines can track soil health, plant growth, and environmental conditions in real time. This data-driven approach ensures that plants receive the exact nutrients they need, minimizing waste and maximizing efficiency. The result is not only increased crop yields but also reduced resource consumption, addressing the global demand for food while conserving natural resources.
4. Reducing Labor and Human Intervention:
By using Tesla robots and drones, guerilla permaculture reduces the need for intensive human labor, which can be costly and time-consuming. Robots can plant, cultivate, and harvest crops autonomously, leaving humans to oversee and direct the larger system. This automation allows the system to operate continuously and consistently, accelerating the regeneration of land and the production of food without exhausting human resources.
5. Carbon Sequestration at Scale:
One of the most crucial benefits of guerilla permaculture is its capacity for large-scale carbon sequestration. By planting diverse species of trees, shrubs, and cover crops, and maintaining healthy soil ecosystems, this system draws carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and stores it in the soil. Drones and robots can rapidly plant millions of trees and crops, covering vast areas that would otherwise remain barren or degraded. This rapid deployment of carbon-sequestering vegetation could significantly reduce atmospheric CO₂ levels, making guerilla permaculture a key tool in the fight against climate change.
Why This Could Be the Planet’s Savior
1. Addressing the Food Crisis:
As the global population continues to rise, the demand for food is increasing exponentially. Traditional industrial agriculture is unsustainable—it depletes the soil, pollutes water sources, and contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. Guerilla permaculture, powered by drones and robots, provides a regenerative alternative. It turns abandoned urban lots, roadside edges, and degraded rural land into productive ecosystems that yield diverse, nutrient-rich food. This decentralized approach to farming enhances food security by reducing reliance on industrial monocultures and long supply chains.
2. Climate Change Mitigation:
Drones and Tesla robots are key to rapidly deploying the plants, animals, and infrastructure necessary to reverse environmental degradation. By accelerating the process of reforestation, soil regeneration, and biodiversity restoration, guerilla permaculture helps restore balance to ecosystems, reduce carbon emissions, and strengthen natural defenses against climate-related disasters. In a world increasingly threatened by floods, droughts, and extreme weather, this regenerative system could prevent further environmental collapse.
3. Restoring Biodiversity:
The planet is currently undergoing a massive loss of biodiversity due to habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change. Guerilla permaculture, implemented by drones and robots, works to restore biodiversity by planting diverse species of plants and supporting wildlife habitats. By regenerating soil, restoring wetlands, and creating food forests, this system fosters healthy ecosystems where plants, animals, and humans can thrive. This restoration of biodiversity is essential for the long-term health of the planet and the survival of countless species.
4. Creating a Self-Sustaining System:
One of the core strengths of guerilla permaculture is its focus on creating self-sustaining ecosystems. By carefully integrating plants, animals, and natural cycles, the system requires minimal external inputs once it is established. Drones and Tesla robots play a crucial role in setting up and maintaining these systems, ensuring that they remain productive and regenerative. Over time, these ecosystems become resilient to external shocks, capable of adapting to changing environmental conditions without collapsing.
5. Transforming Cities and Urban Landscapes:
Urban areas, with their concrete jungles and sprawling infrastructure, are some of the most challenging environments to green. Drones and walking robots can plant along roadsides, in vacant lots, and even on rooftops, turning cities into productive landscapes filled with edible plants and green spaces. This urban greening not only improves air quality and reduces heat islands but also provides fresh food directly to city dwellers, reducing the carbon footprint of food transportation.
A Vision of a Regenerative Future
Imagine a world where drones and walking Tesla robots are tirelessly at work, flying over cities and rural landscapes, planting trees, distributing compost, and monitoring the health of the soil. Roadsides, abandoned lots, and trails are transformed into lush, biodiverse food forests. The air is cleaner, the soil richer, and ecosystems more balanced. Instead of contributing to environmental degradation, our food systems become part of the solution, regenerating the planet rather than depleting it.
By using advanced technology to scale the principles of permaculture, guerilla permaculture has the potential to reverse the damage done by industrial agriculture, reduce carbon emissions, and create a sustainable food system for future generations. It is not just a farming method; it is a movement toward restoring balance to the Earth.
In this vision, drones and robots are not just tools—they are agents of change, working alongside humans and nature to heal the planet. Guerilla permaculture, powered by these technological innovations, could indeed be the planet’s savior, leading the way toward a regenerative, sustainable future.
“Guerilla permaculture” is an innovative and ecologically restorative system that fuses principles of biodynamic agriculture, originally prescribed by Rudolf Steiner, with modern methods of cultivation. The idea is to strategically cultivate diverse species of plants and animals along underutilized spaces like trails, roads, and city edges while integrating bee cultures to enhance pollination and biodiversity.
Key Components:
1. Biodynamic Agriculture: Following Steiner’s biodynamic principles, “guerilla permaculture” focuses on creating self-sustaining ecosystems that enhance soil fertility, crop resilience, and plant vitality through the use of composting, natural cycles, and ecological harmony.
2. Bee Cultures: Bees are central to the system, not only for pollination but also for promoting diversity in plant species, leading to healthier crops and enhanced natural regeneration processes. Bee populations would be nurtured along these paths, helping counteract the global decline in pollinators.
3. Diverse Plant and Animal Species: By introducing a mix of perennial plants, trees, shrubs, and animals (like chickens or small grazing animals), you create symbiotic relationships. Some species could be specifically chosen for their resilience to urban environments and their ability to thrive in neglected spaces.
Effects on a City:
– Increased Urban Green Spaces: City trails, roadways, and abandoned lots would be transformed into vibrant ecosystems, providing food and habitat for wildlife and contributing to a cooler urban microclimate.
– Food Security: Edible plants and small-scale animal farming along these routes could increase food availability in cities. Community members could take part in tending to these spaces, learning and benefiting from fresh produce while reducing food miles.
– Ecological Benefits: By restoring natural habitats, guerilla permaculture helps address the loss of biodiversity, mitigates urban pollution, and improves air and water quality.
– Mental and Physical Health: The proximity of nature in everyday urban life would provide mental health benefits, encouraging residents to walk, explore, and enjoy these spaces.
– Community Involvement: It can foster a sense of stewardship in urban populations, uniting people through the shared care of their environment.
Global Impact:
– Reduction in Industrial Agriculture: As cities adopt sustainable practices, the reliance on harmful industrial agriculture methods decreases, reducing the environmental damage from pesticide use, monocropping, and excessive water use.
– Carbon Sequestration: The increase in plant biomass helps in sequestering carbon, and combating climate change by lowering greenhouse gas emissions in urban areas.
– Biodiversity and Ecosystem Restoration: Implementing this system on a larger scale would gradually restore ecosystems, bringing back species and balancing natural cycles that have been disrupted by urban sprawl.
– Resilient Urban Planning: Cities would become more self-sustaining, adaptable, and resilient to external shocks such as food shortages, climate-related disasters, and environmental degradation.
In essence, “guerilla permaculture” envisions a future where urban environments are transformed into thriving, biodynamic ecosystems, connecting city dwellers with nature while enhancing the global environment. By starting small, with trails and roads, this system could gradually impact the world at large, shifting the way we interact with land, food, and community.
