Hello Blurtters,
- The sunflower has its own nature. You can describe it as a plant that love water for survival. Don't let us push away the fact that there are some plant in which even when you plant them they can equally survive weeks or months without water. But plants as weed, weed as plants. I call them those names because when you want to use it for an important benefits for an advantage for yourself it is called plant or herbs. But when you do not want them at a particular stand or agricultural Farmland it is also called weed. So this plant is also medicinal which can be used to treat typhoid, malaria and 100s of diseases.. So it's also depend on how you use them perfectly so that it will work for each advantage. When you are planning of having some farm animals you need to have what is called a pastureland.
This pastureland will help you to moderate and utilize your green grass or weed which you have planted for the survival of your farmanimals. In my own case this is my own pastureland which I visit regularly when I want to feed my animals. Like rabbits, snails among others. So I would like to also share this,how do we feed our animals? Feeding of farm animals nowadays is extremely high compared to some years ago due to fluctuation or prices, food and commodities and services. So in view of this you need to regulate your concentrate feed and also moderate the way you feed your farm animals with weeds. I took some pictures of the sunflower when
- This is what you need to do when you want to use it to feed your animals. You need to check it well thoroughly. When you check the upper layer of the leaves and the lower layer of the leaves, then you are safe.
you may use your hand to cut the stem because it is soft. When it is tough to fetch, you may use knife to cut it.
Much emphasis should be on the list when you are using it for feeding the animals. this particular plants needs to be thoroughly examined like I said earlier or else you will carry both pest and insect already attached to the leaves to fit your animals which is extremely dangerous
The plant has a lot of good advantage when you plant it on your pastureland. It grow on his own and spread more faster. This is why I specifically leave it on my Farm aside for feeding my animals. And once in a while I also fetch it and cook it I drink it with my family as tea.
I also have it in another section of the farm with curry plant surrounding it. Both of them are very good plants because even when you plant just one stand of the curry plant it is spread gradually.
Once in a while, you may add water just to boost growth. But it is not too necessary. Only if you are in the dry season where you have no water at all.
It is also ideal to fix it with some other weeds to maintain it constant growth.
