I highly recommend this method works very very well I tried it for the first time last year and I must admit it was either by sheer coincidence or definitely proven method because last year's harvest was higher than any other year before I did exactly the way they do it in this video I mowed my lawn just as the trees start flowering and I definitely had a higher percentage of fertilization A+++

Nice! Shade and cover for the soil so it can cultivate its own fauna and not be cooked by the Florida heat. I like it!

Thank you for sharing this with the public and our local farmers. A scythe is another trusted hand tool that you can use to chop down B. alba, which is going to reduce cost and of gasoline. It is just as fast, but a lot more quite, controlled, and not nearly as rough to handle with out all of that vibration.

Sweet potato, frogfruit, and perennial peanut also make fantastic groundcovers. Comfrey, Canna edulis, gingers, taro make great mulch in the herb layer around the inside, dripline, and outside of the tree. Ti plants, dracaena and sugar cane are great as a shrub layer on the outsid the canopy. Tithonia diversifolia, pigeon pea, and even bananas are great in the low tree layer close by to the mangoes.

Thank you Dr Richard Campbell. I did notice that bees have a natural aversion to mango blooms. Most of the mangoes I have on my 5 trees were pollenated by flies. It succeeds nevertheless. I live in Perth, Western Australia and grow Kensington Pride mangoes and one R2E2 Mango Tree. Perth W.A.

Spanish needles are a good tasting vegetable that tastes just like spinach and is a better source of nutrition and has anti-fungal properties. You have to cook it to have that good spinach taste. I am sure you throw it all away when you cut it down.

I'd be more confident that they either leave the cut material as mulch, or compost it for other crops. They did lead this video with "Sustainability!" after all.

Thanks for sharing this information. My Mango tree has not been growing. I'm beginning to think the soil is too high in nitrogen for it. I guess I'll be moving it to a different spot and will also bring in the Bidens.

What problem do you see with allowing the grass weeds to grow. The mango roots go deeper than the grass, and nutrients should be recycling even by letting the grass grow and kept managed.

This all sounds good except for the fact that Spanish nettle is an aggressive multiplier. I like to keep some in the yard as a nectar source but in no time it spreads everywhere in the yard and it grows rapidly.

English nettles are buggers for spreading too: we had to grub up lots of roots to get rid of ours.

Hi, some experts says that the mango trees are self pollinating and they don't need pollination .but in your episode you say that you are trying to improve pollination by cutting these bidens off.can you explain little more about this? thanks

I hate using them. They complain the whole time, steal the nutrients from the ground, take credit for the mango trees giving us food, and cry like babies when it's time for them to be mowed down. Just a bad weed!
