Let's Build Gonave, Haiti!

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 ...

The Bidens Pilosa has started germinating in soil.  We had to put the seeds indoors and in a room that is set for temperatures of 70 - 80 degrees.  With us adding more seeds, and a very thin layer of dirt over the seeds, it took the seeds only two days to show results. This is a major step in our research of not only reforestation, but also proving plants that have many benefits to people as well as pollinating birds, animals, and insects.  The plants will help with our later farm projects as well.  These plants will serve as seeding plants only.  Meaning we will harvest these plants and get the seeds to expand our project in Haiti.  The seeds will be in their raw form to be planted, and some will be turned into paper that can be planted We will post the progress of the Bidens Pilosa on our Gonave TV channel on YouTube once the plant has reached its full size. Go Gonave!

Due to a large response from people all over the world about wanting to know more about Haiti and Gonave, I decided it was time to change the name of the blog slightly to Let's Build Gonave, Haiti vs Let's Build Haiti.  The change is needed for many reasons, one being foreign investment, tourism, and even volunteers.  Their focus was on our page, and the assumption was Gonave was a city in Haiti.  We had to inform many that it is an island with about 80-100,000 people. The change will go into effect on this blog site immediately.  Gonave TV, will still stay the same, and the Gonave Government Portal will still stay the say. Things are slowly changing, and it is starting with administrative stuff first. Go Gonave! ------------------ Akòz yon repons gwo nan men moun nan tout mond lan sou vle konnen plis bagay sou Ayiti ak Gonave , mwen deside li te tan chanje non sa a nan blog la yon ti kras Se pou nou bati Gonave , Ayiti vs Ann bati A...
