Day 3 Bidens Pilosa Update

Day three of the Bidens Pilosa.  So when we replanted the seeds of the Bidens Pilosa, we didn't expect them to germinate so quickly.  So I will do more updates on this plant due to how quickly they grow.  As mentioned we added more seeds and slightly covered them on March 16th.  Below is a picture of what those seeds have done.


Now keep in mind this is only day 3 as there was no activity before.  The fact that this plant can sprout in less than a week will make it the perfect plant to start with some ground cover in areas of La Gonave that has no vegetation.

Also future plans of constructing roads will need plants like this that can be planted along the roadway and ditches.  These plants will pull out any pollution that is in the soil.  As a result the runoff water is cleaner as it enters waterways.  Due to the plant absorbing pollution, any plants that are along the roadway should not be eaten.  The Bidens, while very healthy to eat will be raised in a controlled environment, and then sold.  Future plans for a greenhouse to be constructed on La Gonave will aid in the efforts of farming, wildflowers, decorative flowers, trees, and vegetables.

Soon a co-op will be developed that will help locals participate in the process of helping their local economy.

The Bidens Pilosa, as mentioned before, will be planted along the countryside and rural areas of La Gonave.  These plants will also be good food for goats as well.  Check back often as we will update this site often.  Also we will be updating our Gonave TV channel on YouTube as well.

Go Gonave!
