Planting and Pricing
At the heart of the vetiver system is a specific method of planting in rows using 5 plants to the metre.
Planting from October through to March when the soil is warmer.
Two weeks or more before planting thoroughly remove all weeds/grasses etc in the new vetiver hedge location.
Dig a long trench up to 15cm to 18cm deep
Sprinkle blood and bone fertilizer at the base of the trench
The vetiver plants must be soaked underwater (submerged) for at least 20 minutes before planting. Adding nitrosol (as per packet instructions) to this water is important.
Place one plant every 20cm and backfill.
Use a mulch of choice to control weeds.
For strong healthy plants use an organic foliar spray like Nitrosol monthly while the plants are young.
