Center for Arundo Donax Studies 10:24 am June 8, 2012

I paid Oni and Summer $40.00 for four hours work on Monday June 4, 1212, The work involved cutting shoots of Arundo Donax. Four days later, new growth is coming up.


Today, Oni gardened for 4.5 hours, mainly on our Food Not Lawns front yard.

Another thing we did was clear one circle of Arundo Donax, The Giant Reed that had been cut on Monday by the two San Diego State University Volleyball Players on the 2011 team.

Summer, enters her Junior year as SDSU. Oni, her current housemate, needs to transfer back home but before she goes, we are doing gardening together here at the Enchanted Garden Intentional Community Growing Grounds.

I took photos this morning of one patch of Arundo that we had clipped on Monday. I believe this must be one of the fastest growing plants in the world.

Arundo Donax needs to be seen as a crop rather than an invasive plant. It has more than 102 uses.

At the 2nd Festival of Traditional Medicine of the Americas, held May 18-20, at Professors Park in Tecate, Baja, I brought two Arundo Roots. I was esteemed as an important person by one of the Mayans in attendance because of my interest in Arundo Donax, called Carrizo in Spanish.

Carrizo, AKA, Arundo is a Sacred Plant among the mayans.

I asked Oni to clear one small patch. We recorded this. I want to see how fast it grows.

We also buried some Arundo greens in the new vegetable entry way path on the right.

This is an experiment to show it will now regrow.

I have already demonstrated a number of other uses that were thought impossible.

More later...
