    Ooooooh really enjoyed this one! I agreed with all the points Fendi made, especially about helping the animals, I loved when he said he only uses cedar oil so that it's healthy for our animal friends. Love his shop, would love to visit! Also he's on the sansevieria (as opposed to dracena) team - wooooo! :D I would love to see another episode of his cute little plant collection - the little bonsai looking ones. ^^

    I have several moringa trees at home. They grow quickly so you can chop them to make bushy. The leaves can be air dried to make powder to add to your soups and stews. (One time i harvested so much that i left them at a corner in my dirty kitchen and forgot it. I saw a dark non sti ky juice instead. I doused my trees and plants with it. They grew vibrant leaves.) I use the more mature ones or dried stalks even.

Chop a 2-3inch trunk and chunk it in a pot (so you can prune them to bush) or on the ground (they grow really tall and fruits are long ribbed ones they are fun food to eat. They grow well under the sun and with adequate watering. The leaves that fall can be fermented as liquid fertz. No waste.
