Invasive water hyacinth continues to choke Lake Victoria, Africa's largest fresh water lake. But some farmers are harvesting the "green gold" for manure. More Eco-at-Africa on: www.dw.com/en/tv/eco-at-africa...
This is/ would be blessing for urban Indian water bodies. The natural ponds feel up hyacinth and other plants which noone cares to clean up. Copious amounts of money is then allocated to clean up the same. If its discovered that this is compost, people would actually begin to sell it( the compost)
Due to extreme pollution in rivers here, water hyacinth accumulates very high concentrations of toxins, so they cannot be composted but used for bioremediation insteas
That would take a long time, fresh hyazinths are poisonous for most mamals. You need at least two dozen generations of buffalo with selective breeding and a lot of dead buffalos until some of them would be immune to the poison.
@@leociresi4292 I first proposed using hyacinth as a biofuel to DOE in the early 2000’s, was sure Obama would include in the renewable fuel standard around 2010, but he did nothing, then trump killed it all, except for corn. There’s a pilot program using switchgrass’s here, but the yield from hyacinths would be 10X, and you don’t need to use farm land to do it. There so much we could do, but alas, that would mean filling Washington with educated people who aren’t beholden to Koch, Bushes, and d Rockefellers…. Hope somebody in Central and South America will pick up the slack… it could pay well with a little help!!!
Hi, I'm Ari from Indonesia. I read many journals claiming the power of water hyacinth in absorbing heavy Metal such as Pb. I wonder if the fertilizer made from this water hyacinth still contain the heavy metals, or it is transformed into non toxic compound? I am thinking of using water hyacinth in water treatment and monetizing the water hyacinth as manure. Wish someone can help me to answer.
Humans can eat it as far as I know. You can feed it to pigs or other livestock. There's a video that that shows donkeys and goats eating it! GOD bless you!
Feed it first to your goats and other livestock and then the manure from the them could be used to fertilize your farms. This is a lot faster and better way to benefit from them.
@M. Karbaschi - Livestocks don't eat hycinth and weeds. Cattle fall sick if you force feed (say by mixing with other grass/grain etc). If animals were eating such weeds, human don't have to worry about their spread.
@@vpsn99 Who told you livestock dont eat it?? In fact many animals love it and prefer it over other feeds. Although some dont eat it much like horses. Goats in particular love it. If you dont know something try to remain quiet about it.
Weening feed? Is it good for that , to get the calf off the tit, and how long does it take to get out of the milk if there is bad taste in chickens and or beef? Does it keep the wild herds from being prey also? Or only the penned ones? And or is there a taste difference at all, and outer pens with that feed keep the wilds off? I have a ton of questions if anyone noticed?

Crassipes is the name of a Roman called P. Furia Crassipes, 83/84 bc. Crassipes was his nickname meaning deformed foot. There was a garden named after him along the Appian Way. I collect a silver denaris coin that he had minted for his political recognition. He was a mid level political servant who claimed his power via his uncle who won a battle against the Gauls some 50 years before Crassipes was born. His family was Tuscan elites .
If everyone uses this hyacinth..... Soon the demands and harvest will outrun the natural growing capacity of hyacinth! What will the farmers do then? Such questions also needs to be answered! Every natural resource is limited and must be used judiciously to harvest benefits in an economical way
Philipinos feed water hyacinth to pigs, ducks, chickens, geese, and turkeys. You could pre process it feeding it to your livestock.
Pilipino or filipino not philipino no one says philipino
Sir, paano ba ipakain yan sa manok? Ang dami sa tabing bahay namin ang lawak dito. Ihagis lng ba agad sa manok?
In the Philippines we convert for mushroom production like volvariella volvacea or known as straw/paddy mushroom
Appreciate Great work by Africans keep it up..DW , plz bring more documentaries like this from around the globe
Great graet stufff, we definetely dont need chemicals in our foods, well done.

I wonder if you could raise herds of say water buffalo to eat the plants, this would save labor and would be a win win situation.

@@originalwolf8297 Didn't know, thanks for this.
Water hyacinth is a good source of animal feeds and also for comforting that can be used as a good fertilizer
Biofuel, biofuel, biofuel… one if the best biofuels
Think of how much cheaper gasoline would be if we Water Hyacinth as biofuel

Epic. We are the best. Everything is of benefit to you when your mind is open
Water hyacinth is actually edible (raw or cooked) and has quite a good taste - also the flowers are edible!
Send us recipes or video
Ha ha ha ! No thanks 😊
Oh really
Why would I want to eat something that absorbs pollutants?
Fantastic usage
love to see this....thanks for sharing
When using bags to make your water hyacinth fertilizer. Should the bag after mixing be tied air tight or left for air to go through?
Fantastic, great.
outstanding
They doing a great job
Good way create opportunity from a problem
Some places are using it to manufacture mats and other useful products .

Sir, teach me how to turn it into fertillizer? We have here in my scenery so wide full if this lily.
I bet your garden is healthy..
Do you grow okra?
Great
Humans can eat it as far as I know. You can feed it to pigs or other livestock. There's a video that that shows donkeys and goats eating it! GOD bless you!
Can you please explain to me how I can give them to pigs? Do I cook the leaves or I give them raw?
NICE TO SEE THIS

maybe he can produce it in large quantities and sell it
im thinking of doing it too
Still many parts of the world don't use this tec
This is totally laborious.
We can not do this on large scale.
It is possible bro✌️
@@18yearsago88
Do you know how big problem is this!
How many rivers, canals and dams are infested by water hyacinth?
A lot of countries use hydro threshers because of this
I wonder if you shred it after drying, whether or not it can be used as a fuel ? cause man, that's a lot of fuel.
It can
Well, yeah. Compost is the best for plants.
I wonder why they are feeding the hyacinth to goats or cattle.

It will take ages to rid off the hyacinth from the very expansive lake. Besides, hyacinth is unwanted weed in the lake. It is a win-win situation.
You don’t seem to understand how nature works! It will grow back, it is very aggressive!
