How to Grow Your Own Fertilizer - Mexican Sunflower ( Tithonia Diversifolia )

In this video, I speak about the potential benefits of Mexican Sunflower ( Tithonia Diversifolia ) as a Green Manure in a permaculture garden. And document the progress of my plants. For this first chapter, propagation and growth rate are the main focus.

Future videos will test the studies / claims made about its nutrient content more thoroughly.

Thanks. I shared this video to my garden friends. I planted it all around my home garden. I love the honey scent flowers that attract the bees and other pollinators.😊

Great video! I have this plant which spread under a fence from my neighbors yard and it creates great biomass. I use it as mulch and in compost. I’m happy to know how to propagate it, thanks! 🌱🌱🌱

Great video. When you say they are hardy, how much winter cold and/or wet do they survive in your experience?
I'm trying to get mine through the winter here by mulching & protecting the root base so I can propagate again next spring.
