Description
This leaflet explains how to convert the invasive water hyacinth weed into nutrient-rich compost or ash. It outlines composting methods for different climates and highlights its high content of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potash, far richer than regular manure. The compost improves soil health, while the ash is especially useful for acidic soils and beneficial for crops like sugarcane, jute, and cotton.
