Start supplementing with the most nutrient dense edible leaf powder possible, MORINGA! Then fill in any gaps or extra needs...multi-vitamin level or medicinal level Moringa has amazing potential with regular daily consumption lifestyle habits!

What are you waiting for? You can't get all this with Broccoli or Kale...GO FOR IT!

FINAL HARVEST IS HERE POST!

We got the tap on the shoulder to prepare when the first pm temp drop below 60°F recently came around for a visit! Anyone in a grow Zones lower than 9a/b should already have taken down their plants and harvested the last leaf grow of 2024.

In 9a, we shouldn't see much yellowing yet but it's coming fast, SO TAKE 100% OF YOUR LEAF NOW unless you warehouse grow or move plants into a warm sunny (minimum 6 hrs a day) indoors location.

A Harvest event means that we WHACK EM leaving ONLY the center stalk at about 8" MAX above ground, less is fine too. This encourages maximum bushy recovery and more leaf production come Springtime. In Final Harvest we take our plants down and let them rest. Whatever happens to the stalk including a freeze event WILL NOT adverseky effect the new growth to happen. Save labor hours and supplies trying to 'protect' unimportant woody stems protruding out. Cut frozen bits off and let Moringa work her magic!

I was a bit late on Final Harvest for the Moringa John test grow, but finally got it done and processed all my leaf. This time around I purposefully neglected my hedgerow and really noticed a leaf quality and quantity slide which proves once again, the dynamics of a full productive and healthy production of Moringa leaf is DIRECTLY RELATED to the health and nutrition available in the soil!

Season starts in Late March/Early April when it's time to feed our grows and plants with the best amendments and fertilizers we have (a more detailed post will come to prepare everyone for Spring), and watch the plant explosion and fast growth!!

I'm so grateful for such a dynamic and engaged community pushing themselves further and further toward home grown NUTRITIONAL INDEPENDENCE, GREATER HEALTH, MORE ENERGY AND BETTER SLEEP!

Pics and comments below for more visual education etc. Thank you to everyone for a great season! More to come!

As always, GROW TRIPLE!! SHARE with anyone and EVERYONE seeking solutions to food and nutrition freedom and self-reliance! Let's build inpenetrable healthy lives and communities detached from the poison matrix!!

Forever Dedicated to Your Wellness,
Moringa John

PS. WHACK EM!

CHECKING IN POST:

Happy Sunday Moringa Family!
We are closing in on 500 followers soon and I wanted to firstly take a second to praise those who are stepping towards NUTRITIONAL INDEPENDENCE as we awaken to a Nationally broken food and farming system, and the INCREDIBLE potential and uses of Earth's most nutrient dense edible leaf, MORINGA!!

Self-sufficiency MUST include "nutritional sufficiency' too, and that's a complex and diverse understanding of not only Micronutrients and Macronutrients, but then HOW AND WHAT DO I GROW to support me and my family??!!

That's why I urge anyone who will listen to START with Moringa for its stunning natural perennial support and unparalleled micronutrient density! It's a MONSTER that works in ANY ANIMAL SPECIES and prepared correctly turns into a turbo charged MEDICINE!

It won't solve all the holes in your plan, BUT IT WILL FILL MORE THAN ANY OTHER PLANT CAN, AND GROW EVERY YEAR AFTER FIRST PLANTING!! A no brainier of logic and reverse engineered success giving multiple homestead outputs with MINIMAL INPUTS!

Today I am checking in with my gaggle as you all become more knowledgeable and grow TRIPLE the Moringa you think you need.

Share below where you are at, post pics, and ask any questions you have!!! TOGETHER WE MUST SUPPORT MORINGA AND EACH OTHER and build guilds and communities so strong and capable, we do NOT panic and get on the fear trains or buses. One step at a time, YES YOU CAN!

I am here for MORINGA and anyone just starting out, learning from a dozen plants, or ready to jump into hedgerow intensive growing and Commercial community healing large grows! Get schools churches land owners and current farmers on board!

Please check in and say hello. Please share this FB page so others can speed up their own Nutritional Independence too!

Moringa John

PS. If you recently bought plants or powder from me, this is a great time to plan for Winter and Spring, make sure you have enough Organic Florida grown Moringa, and INVERT THE PYRAMID!

Moringa and FOOD IDEAS POST!

I ran across this posted question on another site where the Moringa user was asking for help cooking with Moringa! He thought the fresh leaves and dry powder in tea form was "bitter" and in the responses to his post there are DOZENS OF RECIPES AND RESPONSES! This is SE Asia/Singapore so they are easy to make and prepare at home without getting too fancy.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1twe8wzNNgm2pxUY/?mibextid=oFDknk

Everything from Moringa pesto to Moringa and Chicken soup or Moringa and Scrambled Eggs! If you've chatted with me at a Moringa John booth or been to a Moringa John workshop you have heard me say over and over, START WITH FOODS YOU ALREADY FIND DELICIOUS! If it's not your favorite after adding appropriate daily consumption guidelines, at least your A+ doesn't drop further than a B+ and that's still a solid AND NUTRITIOUS meal!!

Braver eaters will do like I once did also when starting out on my journey, I literally put it in EVERYTHING and figured it out for me. YOU CAN TOO!

DAILY nutrient dense nutrition is CRITICAL to sustained overall health and wellness, and when used correctly, Moringa is so Nutrient and Anti-Oxidant dense, it becomes medicinal! FIGURE IT OUT NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!

NUTRITIONAL FREEDOM is within reach of your families fingertips! Grow more and eat more MORINGA and protect you and yours from nutritional and medical decline!

Moringa John

PS. A 'Cooking' and Moringa Product class are tentatively planned for Jacksonville Sat November 15th 10-Noon. Details forthcoming once set!

GRATITUDE POST AND SEASONAL MAINTENANCE:

Thank You Sam, David the Good, Speakers, Support Families, Scrubland Farmz and Volunteers for another fantastic Scrubfest all day Speaker Vendor plant nerd 'party'! So grateful my SCRUBFEST T-shirt collection keeps on growing spending time with you all!

MORINGA MANAGEMENT SEASONAL BEST PRACTICES:

This is the slowing down season for our Tropical/Sub-tropical wunder-plant Moringa: temps below 70°F are slowing down, under 60° it's basically dormant for growth or planting purposes.

This is NOT the time for starting anything inground from seed! Starts seeds and transfer to potted indoors/greenhoused now thru April to get a jump on Spring planting and plant growth.

Mature potted can be placed in ground, but don't expect high growth rates. It's more for soil and rootball acclimation and winter resting, which the plant will do when everything is below 60°.

"Final Harvest" is coming soon, in 9a it's by end of Nov, capturing the valuable and grow target of leaf production, which will stop and even yellow and drop under low temp stressors. So we capture the leaf beforehand and let her rest and recover. We are 'Leaf Farmers' first.

When temps get zippy again, 70° +, and shoots start popping out, we fertilize/feed and prepare for new growth explosions!

While going sleepy/dormant remember to REDUCE WATERING SCHEDULES! Everything slows down including drinking water, so adjust accordingly and avoid over watering shock, leaf loss, and potential rootball rot!

Remember we GROW TRIPLE and share with our inner circles!! Build strong connections all around and make sure when times get tough, our hearts don't toughen too. Time to Prepare Y'all! DO YOU and yours have NUTRITIONAL FREEDOM yet?!

LETS GROOOOW!

New Sprout/Regular Plant Management Post:

As a softwood plant, it takes Moringa seedlings/sapplings 3-6 months before the outer thick skin barks thicken enough to protect against heavy moisture stem rots.

With all our humidity, be aware that at nighttime thru til final harvest first week of Nov, cold air condenses our super humid air (sometimes 100% humidity) and causes lots of condensation. These drops form on whatever they can including young green tender new shoots and cause frequent fungal growth and often stem rot taking the whole new shoot with it.

Recently I have been experiencing lots of new shoot loss due to heavy soil and air moisture and have had to adjust my watering and remove many top dressed pots sprouting new growth! Also direct sun becomes more critical in the morning as a way to evaporate the wetness naturally. Also being aware to adjust or lessen watering accordingly too.

It's a partnership with each new plant introduced to ones environment and like all good relationships, it takes time and a few cycles to understand. Sometimes leaves yellow and fall and we need to observe conditions to increase support needs. Moringa is very forgiving AND fast growing, so it's a GREAT one to get right! Intense nutrient density, intense anti-oxidant content, complete protein, nutritious for ALL species (pets and domesticated and even for fish!)

The MOST COMMON Moringa tyrant and killer is too much moisture and over watering. Second would be improper soil prep and shallow planting. Control moisture needs when stalks are still green and leave soil tops around stems and stalk bare until you see heavier barky skins form, usually after 6 months of growth

The worst way to grow Moringa is NOT AT ALL! Nutritional Independence and Medicinal freedom can be grown in your own yard with some patient accurate REVERSE ENGINEERING/DESIGN! Having a hedgerow producing enough for your family and animals can secure some incredibly important nutrition and medicine for when times get tight!

GROW TRIPLE!! Share with your Family and Community! Learn MORINGA first and supply so many self-sufficiency needs with one AMAZING plant!

Pics for visual learners!

STORM PREPARATION MORINGA!!

For those growing in pots who are able, move your pots under eaves, under wind tolerant cover, elevated from possible flooding, or indoors. It's only a few days. Replace away from soggy areas in direct sunlight!

If unable to move conveniently, harvest your leaf NOW! Moringa hates constant wet feet and will yellow and drop leaf under multiple days of water logged conditions. We are leaf farmers, so don't risk losing what you have worked hard to produce. It will produce more by November 9a final harvest!

Inground growers susceptible to flooding, HARVEST LEAF NOW! Recovery will produce plenty by November final harvest! Tall (over 6') plants need harvesting anyway, so don't bother staking or roping. TAKE A FULL HARVEST (CUT ENTIRE PLANT TO NO MORE THAN 18" OF CENTER STALK) and process that nutrient dense antioxidant rich leaf and freeze in ziplock bags for daily use!

Again, Moringa hates wet feet and can shock out after a few days of constant water pressures.

Be safe! Your Moringa will recover no matter what you do as long as the rootball/taproots are not drowned out or start fungal rot!

See you all on the other side!

Moringa Management Post!

I have wanted to update you all on what's been happening so here goes for those that have taken the FIRST step and are growing dozens/hundreds for human and animal NUTRITIONAL INDEPENDENCE!

Moringa turns deciduous seasonally in its native grow zones, Tropical and Sub-tropical, AND when stressed, the rhizome manages the plant by gradually shutting down resources and branches turning leaves yellowish and dropping them.

BEFORE known stress events like temperatures below 65, too much water (like the recent 10 consecutive rain days a week before a major storm), drought, or lack of sufficient nutrients to support bushy maximum leaf plants, it makes complete sense to TAKE A FULL LEAF HARVEST, and let the plants recover producing another crop, even/especially outside scheduled harvest periods. Total leaf capture is always greater!

POTTED MORINGA NEEDS MORE ATTENTION ALWAYS! Regular nutrients, heat diversions from black pots, water soaking responses, stress yellowing management!

I test my grows HARD and report back to you. We did NOT harvest before all those rainy days prior to Helene and LOST 50% OF POTTED LEAF SUPPLY! What a wasted opportunity! Several in ground growing clients also had extreme water build up and large leaf losses! HARVEST YOUR PRECIOUS LEAF! WHACK EM!

After Helene, we did a COMPLETE HAVEST and RESET! Plants were Dr Seuss tall and lanky but with the remaining 4 weeks of grow time in our season, there is enough grow time left to warrant full harvesting.

After major harvests it's also a GREAT TIME TO REPOT OR REPLANT! New more fertile soils and recovery will boom growth and strengthen rhizome rootballs. Make sure to let rest a few days and then fertilize/moisten once until new growth appears. Patience is king here.

Inground grows can handle more stresses like temp, water, and nutrient decline, but must also be managed with foresite and fearlessness. Moringa ALWAYS responds with strength and determination to provide!

Pics below to illustrate some of the last 2 weeks procedures you too can apply, and a few uses pics like my fresh Moringa blueberry Ginger lemonade thingy!

NEW GROW SEEDKING KITS ARE COMING SOON TO SUPPORT LARGER GROW PIONEERS WANTING NUTRITIONAL INDEPENDENCE! Stay tuned for more.

If you haven't been to a workshop book now to make sure you have family and community needs met! You can grow all the potatoes and winter squash and can zucchini, BUT complete nutritional independence after calories is absolutely critical for health and strength!

Grow TRIPLE needed. Share with family, friends, church groups, and garden clubs! EVERYONE grow more and eat more MORINGA!
