Hi guys, we have an abundance of taro/elephant ear plants on our farm. Could that be a good source for FPJ. I appreciate your reply.
My main dilemma is that i want to make FPJ out of it, but the trees i want to use it on include mango’s, bananas. Would it still be a good source to use?
Thanks,
Nik

Yes, you will get benefit from making KNF Food from taro leaves. Taro is generally very nutritious so the leaves will contain those compounds and add benefit to the other crops when applied to them.
One general rule is that the best food for a plant is the plant itself, eg: banana being applied back to banana, but that may not always be possible for a variety of reasons, so the second general rule is use what you have a lot of so it becomes easy to get large volumes with little work.

- Hi Drake, thanks for the reply, i appreciate it. Yea i wont be able to take all the leaves off one specific type such as banana trees only, but if this is the case, can one take leaves out of a number of plants/trees such as mango leaves, jackfruit, banana leaves, taro, essentially from all the trees one has, put them in a pile together, make FPJ out of it, and feed a range of tropical fruit trees with it. I can certainly do that, instead of using just Taro in this case, is that a better option?
