How to Grow Your Own Fertilizer - Mexican Sunflower Propagation || Black Gumbo

Would you like to grow a free source of exceptionally good fertilizer? In this short video I will show you how to propagate Mexican Sunflower, specifically, Tithonia diversifolia. This amazing plant has a very balanced N-P-K ratio, and some say that it is as good as cow manure or chicken manure. This plant can be chopped and dropped as mulch that will break down quickly into your soil, or it can be used as a green manure and turned into your soil. You can even use it to make a compost tea. I'll show you how to grow this plant from cuttings, we're going to propagate these plants in potting soil.

From time to time, cuttings are available here:

We work a small-scale teaching garden, much like the typical Zone 9a backyard garden and raised beds, the kind of gardening accessible to all. We tend to take the slice of life approach and hope you will enjoy our family, our dog, our cooking, our adventures, and occasionally some commentary and advice. We love family, joy and friendship, and we invite you to enjoy these things with us!
