THE MANY USES OF VETIVER

Episode 122: In this episode we dive into the world of Vetiver. With powerful roots that grow 12-15 feet deep, Vetiver is a valuable plant that acts as a living infrastructure. Vetiver is planted around the world to remediate polluted soil and water.
To learn about this multi-faceted plant, I spoke with Vetiver expert Jason Fox of Vetiver Farms Hawaii.  http://www.vetiverfarmshawaii.com Jason fills us in on vetiver’s many uses including slope and erosion control, wastewater treatment, toxin absorption, water diversion, and flood prevention.
Vetiver is the plant that keeps on giving. It’s roots yield an aromatic and medicinal essential oil, it sequesters excess atmospheric carbon, and Vetiver mulch is mycorrhizal-rich.
