Napier Grass: Harvested & Fertilized


Napier Grass: Harvested & Fertilized

Here you can see the freshly fertilized "stumps" of Napier grass. Yep, the cut the grass then scoop a pile of fresh manure on to the stump. I don't know much about horticulture but somehow putting fresh manure on a plant didn't seem like the best idea to me.

In another area (at which time i did not have my camera) a family had an orchard(?) of banana trees and they actually dug trenches in between their rows of banana trees and filled the trenches with fresh manure and once they were halfway filled they would cover the trench up, again the idea of putting fresh manure on plants didn't seem like a great idea to me but i guess its better than nothing?
