Planting Instructions:

Soil Preparation:

Choose an area with heavy, well-draining soil that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Remove weeds, large rocks, and litter from the planting area. Leave small weeds and dead grass, they will enrich the soil when turned under. Spade or till the soil 8-12 inches deep. Loosening the soil will help the plant establish strong roots.

Plants grow best in soil with lots of organic matter. You may optionally add fertilizer or organic material such as compost, leaves, or rotted hay to mix into the soil at this point. For small gardens, scatter 2-3 tablespoons of fertilizer evenly and work into the top 2-3 inches of soil for each hill or 2 foot by 2 foot planting area. For larger gardens, scatter 2-3 pounds of a complete fertilizer for each 100 square feet of planting area. Work fertilizer or organic material into the soil and leave the surface smooth.

Form rows of soil beds 4-6 inches high and at least 3 feet apart. This formation of ridges will help with drainage.

Planting:

Gourds grows best in warm weather.

Starting Indoors: For an earlier harvest, you may optionally start planting indoors in containers 3-4 weeks before the last expected frost date in Spring, keeping seedlings at least 70F. Harden off then transplant seedlings outdoors in a sunny location when the soil temperature is above 65F. To transplant seedlings, prepare a transplant hole outdoors in a sunny location. Remove the plants carefully from the pots or flats and set them in the holes, burying some of the stem in the ground. Pack the soil loosely around the plant and leave a slightly sunken area around each plant to hold water. Water the plants after transplanting. Train plants to climb a 6-8 foot trellis or fence as they establish. This maximizes yield, ensures plants are well-watered and allows the gourds to grow straight and easy to pick.

Directly Sowing: If directly sowing gourds outdoors, plant in mid-late spring when the soil warms to at least 70F. Fall planting is not typically recommended but is possible in climates with mild winters (USDA Zones 9-11), or if growing indoors >70F and using supplemental grow lights.

To plant, make holes 1 inch deep and spaced 4 feet apart down the rows of raised beds. Plant 2-3 seeds per hole. If choosing to thin to the strongest plant, determine the strongest and healthiest plant, then remove all other plants, narrowing to a single plant per hole. Cover seeds thinly with soil and water after planting. Train plants to climb a 6-8 foot trellis or fence as they establish. This maximizes yield, ensures plants are well-watered and allows the gourds to grow straight and easy to pick.



Planting Depth: 1 inch
Within-Row Spacing: 4 feet
Between-Row Spacing:3 feet (trellis) or 8 feet (sprawl)

Care During the Season:

Watering: Water the plants deeply, soaking the soil to a depth of 6-8 inches, once to twice a week. If there is no rainfall, water 3-4 times a week. Sandy soils may need to be watered more often than heavy clay soils. Mulching around plants can help retain moisture.

Weeding: Keeping plants weed-free improves production. If plowing or hoeing, do not dig deeper than 1 inch to prevent from cutting the feeder roots.

Fertilizing: Once seedlings are established, 2-3 weeks after germination, you may optionally apply 2 tablespoons of a complete fertilizer around each hole, or 1-2 pounds per 100 square feet, without letting the fertilizer touch the plants. Optionally, continue fertilizing every 3-4 weeks as plants grow, especially after flowering begins. Water plants after fertilizing.

Insecticides: Insecticides may be used to protect plants. Bt-based insecticides and sulfur are organic options that can be used for prevention. Sulfur also has fungicidal properties and helps in controlling many diseases. Before using a pesticide, read the label and follow cautions, warnings and directions.

Diseases: If spots or mold appear, treat plants with an approved fungicide. Neem oil, sulfur, and other fungicides may be used. When using fungicides always follow label directions.

Harvesting:

Stem mustard tuber, also known as mustard stem or tuberous mustard (), is best harvested when the swollen stems reach about 4 to 6 inches in diameter, typically 60 to 80 days after planting. For the best texture and flavor, harvest before the stems become too tough or fibrous. To harvest, use a sharp knife or garden shears to cut the stem at the base, leaving the roots behind. The ideal time to harvest is early in the morning when the plant is well-hydrated and crisp. After harvesting, the tuber can be cleaned and either eaten fresh, pickled, or used in stir-fries. If multiple plants are grown, staggered harvesting allows for an extended yield. For continued production, ensure the plants receive consistent watering and nutrient-rich soil, as healthy growth contributes to plump, flavorful stems.

Great product
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I haven't used it yet.... but I'm hoping to raise the rating. It has a very strong sent off burnt popcorn which is one of the identifiers for real batana oil. The tamper seal was not secure. It was melted and spilled on me when I opened it. It soaked into the package also Could use better seal. Overall I'm pleased with the product.

Smell & texture seem to be accurate
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is my first time using this product for two days now. Smell is strong dark roast or maybe the hard rice smell at the bottom of a pot. The oil is hardened because it’s cold but when I put it in my hands it does melt. I put it on my hair, face and neck and so far so good. I will plan to make an updated review at the end of the product use. Thank you. So far I would recommend, also customer service was great, I asked direct questions and they were direct and helpful. ☺️

Hair Regrowt, It works,
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This is the truth! I was doing research on what I could use to regrow my hair. I am a black girl, and I have naturally very thick and longer hair, like to my back (though it took me a while to get there) But this past year I let a bunch of different people do my hair and they did not take care of it. My edges were basically gone. I had a bald spot like right by my edges and I had to cut off maybe 3-4 inches of hair. I was so hurt and sad but I remained hopeful and I bought banana oil after I heard Dr. Sebi talking about it (I believe that kind of stuff lol if you don't I understand) But I've been using it for 2 months now and there are baby hairs where the bald spot was and my hair is getting back to its old length. I use it excessively probably... lol I do a like a finger amount once a day or once every other day on the spot that needed the most treatment. I go to sleep in a satin cap, and I literally pray and manifest long healthy hair with this on my scalp. If you are a black girl and you have heat damage or damage from closures. GET THIS and Remember mama, your NATURAL self is always going to be the most beautiful you. Also I like the smell, kinda like roasted coffee beans

Cigarette smell; didn't work
Size: 4 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
It seems authentic (compared to another brand I had bought) however............the smell is not that great. At first it seemed like coffee smell, but after rubbing into scalp it smelled like smoking/burning cigarettes. It's not horrific but the smell is noticeable. I wouldn't go out in public until after it's washed out of your hair. Hoped that it would help with hair growth but it didn't. The oil just made my hair fall out more.

Appearance, texture, and smell pass the test!
Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I am rating this product on a appearance, texture and smell alone because I have not had time to use it in order to determine it's hair nourishing properties. I have studied a lot about Botana oil because there are so many products out there that have been born out of a few large names putting it out there in the market. It smells exactly like it should which is coffee and a little bit of Ash. I know that sounds strange but it really is not a bad smell. The texture and the color seem to pass the test as well. The color is a yellow brownish color. The texter is more like a butter as opposed to an oil. It puts you in the mind of shea butter. I did take a little bit out of the jar to see how oily it is and of course it's oily but once you melt it in your hands and rub it in it seems to soak in easily. This protect solid while in the jar. 100% Botana oil should never turn liquidy at all unless you have it in a very hot environment of course. I'll come back once I use the product to determine how it nourishes my hair.
