How to Grow Your Own Fertilizer - Mexican Sunflower ( Tithonia Diversifolia )

In this video, I speak about the potential benefits of Mexican Sunflower ( Tithonia Diversifolia ) as a Green Manure in a permaculture garden. And document the progress of my plants. For this first chapter, propagation and growth rate are the main focus.
Future videos will test the studies / claims made about its nutrient content more thoroughly.

Thanks. I shared this video to my garden friends. I planted it all around my home garden. I love the honey scent flowers that attract the bees and other pollinators.😊

Great video! I have this plant which spread under a fence from my neighbors yard and it creates great biomass. I use it as mulch and in compost. I’m happy to know how to propagate it, thanks! 🌱🌱🌱

I use all parts of this Mexican sunflowers as fertilizer for my banana trees and other plants too.

Thanks you so much! They have been a joy to grow. Soon i'll be making a video showing how I made them into liquid fertilizer for my garden. There are so many cool uses for these plants and i'm excited to share them!

@@Grow_Everything; I read somewhere it is very medicinal please keep us informed on that if you find something out.

Great video. When you say they are hardy, how much winter cold and/or wet do they survive in your experience?
I'm trying to get mine through the winter here by mulching & protecting the root base so I can propagate again next spring.

Amazing I'm trying this

Nice information. What colors do they come in?

[@Grow_Everything]

Mexican Sunflower ranges from yellow to orange and almost red. But the only variety used for soil building / fertilization is Yellow flowered Tithonina Diversifolia due to it's unique ability to accumulate nutrients and grow as a shrub like perennial year round. The other variety Tithonia Rotundifolia grows as an annual. It will produce beautiful red-ish orange flowers but isn't necessarily a great source of soil nutrition.
