Big and plump strawberries grown with mile-a-minute weed biochar-based fertilizer and vinegar liquid
Mile-a-minute weed biochar combined with vinegar liquid produces big and plump strawberries. Want to learn how? Then read the introduction below. Huang Ying-pin, senior researcher at the Ecosystem Technology Laboratory of the Central Branch of the Industrial Technology Research Institute, says that mile-a-minute weed (Mikania micrantha) is native to Central and South America, harms crop growth, is known abroad as the "mile-a-minute weed", and is also regarded as the "green cancer" of the plant world. Mile-a-minute weed spreads rapidly in Taiwan, China, and is a plant that forestry units want to eradicate as quickly as possible, but it is not entirely useless. Research has shown that mile-a-minute weed is rich in micropores and is a very good charcoal material, which can be converted into "biochar" and "vinegar liquid" through carbonization technology; biochar can be used for soil improvement, and combined with vinegar liquid it becomes a pest and disease control agent or a plant growth promoter.
