I love this plant... Not only for fertilzer but for my bees and chickens...

[@maheshmali7310]

is this fertilizer suitable for flower plants?

[@ethanletzer3507]

Wait how do you know what the nutrient percentages?? Did you take it to a lab for testing?

[@KitchenGardenn]

Thank you for your question Ethan, regarding the %. For this video i didn't take to the lab but reliable research has been conducted regarding the plant. You can google researched articles on the plant and get more reliable info.

[@DSW2022]

Many researches have been carried out about this green manure in African countries such as Kenya. If you search you will find them. I'm surprised to see Tithonia has much better N and K percentages than Farm yard manures. Tithonia : N 3.1, K 4.1 FYM : N 1.8 , K 2.2 . Tithonia's phosphorous content and ph is lower than FYM

Now i know, going to practise this

[@KitchenGardenn]

Thanks for watching 👀.

[@chisangalunga9128]

Can I use this fertilizer on maize fields

[@KitchenGardenn]

Yeah

[@isaacokot5370]

It would be better to chop the leaves into smaller pieces

[@KitchenGardenn]

I think there is no problem either because decomposition depends on bacteria and not the size of the leaves

[@t-a9402]

Any analysis of NPK ratios available?

[@KitchenGardenn]

Averaging about 3.5% N, 0.37% P and 4.1% K according to research.
