Vetiver grass makes a beautiful chop and drop plant and is a sustainable source for carbon to add to your soil as mulch or to your compost pile. #chopanddrop #permaculture #carboncrop
Propagate some of it, and uproot it. The roots are full of sweet, earthy fragrance. South Asian countries use this fragrance a lot ! It's called "khus" over there
it's a great plant. glad that you're growing it. the vettiver root can detox metal from our body. simply put the root in the drinking water container after cleaning it and drink the water. can add the water as the water level low. can keep the root in the container up-to a week. best is earthen vessel.

Thanks for the tip. I did not know that!
@@TiaSilvasy you're most welcome ☺
I ordered some! Excited to try and use it as a privacy hedge in central Florida.
GREAT!!!!GREAT!!!GREAT
It’s my favorite grass too…. I love it !!!
👍👏🏻
Vetiver is a good choice for those in frost parts of Florida. The grass can take a freeze and stays green all year.
I love it. I use vetiver to stop erosion.
Thanks for the tip
You're welcome! I think grasses are underrated and should be a part of every sustainable landscape.
@@TiaSilvasy I wish I was able to grow it.. I'm in zone 5a. Unless u got another tip for me?
@@KaloBtzzk Vetiver can survive -10C, so grow it, maybe when the real cold comes mulch it heavily. It will come back fast in the spring.
@@TheChenny73 interesting. I'll give it a try if I find it.
Thanks for the idea. What do you think about lemongrass?
Where did you get your vetiver grass?
I propagated it from a friend. Its very easy to propagate or you can look for one from an online plant nursery.
Could I have your mail address to send some vetiver photos and ask some questions ? Thanks in advance
