Chido Govera's Magic Mucuna Beans!

- Although his normal plant-hunting exploits usually take him into wilder and more remote spots, this lockdown is not a normal time. And so, unable to go further afield, Gus Le Breton (aka the African Plant Hunter) pops his head over his neighbour's fence to chat with her about her latest project growing Mucuna beans. But Chido Govera is no ordinary neighbour. And Mucuna beans are no ordinary beans!

I know her! She’s lovely! I reached out to her last year about mushroom farming. She’s amazing! I’m so proud of her and the work she does. Thank you Gus for another great episode. As always I learnt a lot!
Thanks. Chido is a superstar, and she just gets on does things without any fuss or noise. As you say, an amazing person. Lucky me to have her as my neighbour!
@@AfricanPlantHunter do you have any videos on Rooibos and honey bush
@@AfricanPlantHunter , will gladly visit the 2 of you. I personally know Chido once meet her. She is a beautiful lady, always cheerful.
Growing commercially and indoors are interesting. Writing about them in journals is a great addition to scientific knowledge.
Thanks Ross!
Gus thank you for this, I have watched some of your videos of African 🌱 plants , I am into Beauty & Wellness in Uk am really interested in more information, how can I get hold of you .
Gus I love your work
Thank you, I really appreciate your kind words!
I like it where can I sold it if I plant them?
I am from Zambia
Hello Gus and Chido. ( as you can see Gus I am slowly making my way through your library lol.). This got me wondering since Mucuna is in the family Fabaceae how good of a nitrogen fixer is it/ could it be. If it is good at fixing nitrogen I could see it making an excellent companion plant! the extra shade and transpiration, I would guess even helps to keep the farm and other crops cooler.
You're doing a great job getting through the library! You're absolutely right, by the way. Mucuna is a good nitrogen fixer and therefore a very good companion crop. A fair amount of research has been done on its nitrogen fixing properties in various different countries around the world, so for sure it works!
Do you have an episode on her mushroom growing?
Not yet, but I will definitely do it!
L want the seed how to get you
Any plant work on opioid resptors!?!? Other than akuamma
I can't help with that one, but I'll keep my eyes open for sure!
Velvet beans are itchy
Yes, watch where you put them!
