Male Fertility in America

Posted by Kendrick Henry ·

Male Fertility in America

In Decline

Male fertility rates in America have been on the decline in recent years. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the number of sperm per milliliter of semen in American men has dropped by more than 50% over the last four decades. This decline in fertility has been linked to a variety of factors, including environmental pollution, poor diet and lifestyle choices, and exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

Potential Solution 

One potential solution to this problem is the use of the moringa tree's leaves. Moringa, also known as the "miracle tree," is a highly nutritious plant that is native to India and Africa. Its leaves are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, and have been used for centuries in traditional medicine to treat a wide range of ailments.

Promising Results 

Recent research has shown that moringa leaves may also be effective at increasing male fertility. A study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology in 2016 found that supplementing with moringa leaf extract improved sperm quality and quantity in infertile men. The study participants, who were given a daily dose of 500mg of moringa leaf extract for three months, saw a significant increase in sperm count, motility, and normal morphology.

More Evidence 

Another study, published in the Journal of Medicinal Food in 2018, found that moringa leaf extract improved semen quality and increased testosterone levels in healthy men. The study participants, who were given a daily dose of 500mg of moringa leaf extract for eight weeks, saw a significant increase in sperm count, motility, and normal morphology, as well as an increase in testosterone levels.

Why it Works 

The mechanisms by which moringa leaves may improve male fertility are not yet fully understood. However, it is believed that the high levels of antioxidants and other nutrients in the leaves may help to protect sperm from damage caused by free radicals. Additionally, moringa leaves contain compounds known as phytosterols, which have been shown to have a positive impact on sperm quality.

More Research Needed 

While more research is needed to fully understand the potential of moringa leaves to increase male fertility, the available evidence suggests that they may be a promising natural solution to the problem of declining sperm counts in America. It's important to note that these studies are small-scale and more research is needed to establish the potential of moringa leaves as an effective treatment for infertility. It's also important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any supplements, as they may interact with other medications or have adverse effects for some individuals.

Talk to Your Doctor 

In conclusion, male fertility rates in America have been declining in recent years, and environmental pollution, poor diet, and lifestyle choices have been identified as contributing factors. The Moringa tree leaves are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, and have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. The research suggests that moringa leaves may help improve sperm quality and quantity, but more research is needed to fully understand the potential of moringa leaves to increase male fertility. As always, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any supplements.

Three Methods for Growing Moringa | Orchard, Hedge, Intensive

Posted by Kendrick Henry ·

Three Methods for Growing Moringa | Orchard, Hedge, Intensive

Welcome

Moringa Farms in Plant City, Florida. We grow moringa trees! I'd love to share with you today exactly what's going on at the farm. You can see here that we're growing this plot of moringa trees in like a hedge row. I'm going to go ahead and show you some of the different ways that you can grow Moringa. This is actually from some cuttings and some of our cuttings are actually starting to come back here on this nice mulch mound. We're on two and a half acres; everything here pretty much froze back and it's just now starting to re-sprout. Loving that the greens are starting to come back. I'm gonna do a little bit of a harvest for you guys so you can see a little bit later about how to actually and beautiful. .

Orchard

The first method we're going to look at is the orchard method. We have ours on double staggered rows. The trees are ten feet apart down the row and the row is staggered five feet apart diagonally. This helps them grow to their full height and gives us enough room between trees to harvest easily. It also lets us do things like mow the grass.

Hedge

The second method we'll look at is the hedge row. These trees are planted 3-7 feet apart. You could use this method as a living fence, as a wind break, or a barrier between your garden and orchard. With them so close it makes harvesting them go a lot faster. But these shouldn't get as big as your orchard style trees. 

Intensive

iteration and check this out, you can grow Moringa on mounds hey're really close together; like six inches apart. We have a nice little mama Moringa at the end here telling all her little babies how to grow. Look how close together they are. This is a good way to get a lot of biomass quickly. Great for micro green production. A lot of these will die off, and that's okay. Save only the ones that look really good at the seasons end and transfer them to pots to sell or put them in your orchard. 

Bonus: Greenhouse

Inside our greenhouse we have the fan blowing so that way The trees are growing really well now and these are our bio bags. bags are starting to sprout. These bags are about three inches by four and a half inches and the trees are starting to just come out. I know just because of the distance there but you get the idea of all of those little trees coming in. That's our lovely  has been about two or three weeks since we started sprouting all these bags. We added lots of perlite to these peat moss pellets and we actually using the BioStimulant on them.

Bonus: Pots
the operation where we have also the All of these trees got frozen back in the frost but we're starting to get them back. We're going to repot them. We cut all these trees back and they're all just starting to push back out.

Harvest! Harvest! Harvest!

Don't let your greens go to waste. A lot of people seem to be afraid of these trees are vigorous growers and they love to be harvested and provide tons of abundance. Look at this baby it's popping out of the bottom here.
soon. Peace, love and prosperous growing.

 that have some red stems on them; really beautiful. What we're focusing on is actually getting this row planted out. 

Our Not So Secret

Application

BioStimulant on the trees. It's really just juiced moringa leaves.  cuttings in the ground.  We've already raised up the mounds 12 to 16 inches off the ground from mulch we had dropped off here about two years ago. I'm just getting these babies started.

Already Working

 sprouts coming out of them. We're just getting them hydrated today; we'll use the BioStimulant about once every other week in between waterings. We water it every few days. 

Row Spacing

ou can get your orchard established really well like that.

Summer Cutting

just from the summer; so this worked really really well. We established this with the BioStimulant, and now she's ready to be trimmed back.

Where we'll Cut

made from Moringa leaves.

Established Cuttings

Here is a cutting with a red stem, a really good characteristic that we have, and we have a couple of rows established out here. Some of them didn't make it, you know, and that's okay. But for the most part we got pretty much all the ones that we stuck in here to survive. There's no irrigation or anything yet, just been seeing what we can get started out here in the wild.

Bigger Transplanted Trees

 It's since re-sprouted cut her back again soon so that she'll start bushing out low again. We'll get some BioStimulant on it so that way it comes back nice and strong. We have the BioStimulant available now on our website at growmoring.com

Moringa Frost Protection in Florida

Posted by Kendrick Henry ·

Moringa Frost Protection in Florida

Why Protection is Needed

for the frost that rolled through a few days ago. It got in the 20s in North 

What We Used

his second and third row here is actually seedlings down the middle and I just covered the Middle with plastic ground covering. That way we can still fulfill tree orders and even get a few greens from these rows over the next three three months. If they rot out and die then we'll have nothing for several months, so it's very important to save these seedlings.

Covering the Rows
plastic out here and then I essentially just dropped it in the middle and that way it just covered  cut back two  off of all these trees so I got a couple kilos drying right now from all the leaves out here. I pretty much got the plastic all in the center. It didn't take long at all. It took us about 10 minutes per row and I did 2 rows. I was able to get the seedling trees covered up.

Did They Make It?

 

We have two really nice established rows of Moringa seedling trees in the middle of the orchard trees here that I ended of.

First Look

I just left these greens on here for you to see exactly what they'll look like after they get Frost. They are shot. They're still green but within the next day they will all be brown and falling off. It is like a graveyard out here.

Limitations of the Plastic Used

So how can you grow Moringa in a place  plastic ground cover that's usually  plant nurseries, and just cut and It got freaking cold out here so it but definitely not too bad. These aren't as thick as the orchard style trees and it might have gotten too cold and they might have been touching the plastic but  I really feel like this  off. This was my first time ever covering anything. First time ever having any kind of farm or field or Orchard or anything I'm glad that we got this on camera.

A Bit of Damage

 

I was expecting these leaves to still be perfectly green and not even harmed but this plastic does have some holes in it and some of the cold air could still get in there. It was freezing last night. opened up, take the plastic covering off.

Protecting The Roots

progress and see how they bounce back I'm happy with the fact that the sticks here are still intact so these could still re-sprout and come back. We'll see what they look like in the next couple days after we get through this first cold Frost. I believe that they're going to make a great comeback. A lot of the stalks don't seem to be affected. As long as that water did not freeze getting down to the root then we're good. being able to penetrate down into these brittle little sticks freezing the root system. Even if the stalks don't actually saving the root system. What the plastic covering prevented from happening was the trunk or the little stem from freezing. rot the root. I don't believe any of that happened here from what I just saw going down both of these rows. I'll grab one to see if the root system is in tact or if it was damaged.

Checking on the Roots
That's what you want to see. This is fine. That's all we wanted to do, protect the roots. We just wanted to make sure that this didn't freeze because if this stayed out and this water froze then this would travel down into the roots and freeze and that is what we don't want. We're going to be just fine. We can still ship these out as mature trees in a couple months. These trees are about to be almost a year old now and look at them. I'll go ahead and stick essentially we were able to save our beautiful Moringa seedlings as well as a
seedlings are in here? Probably a thousand. I mean you can see them going all the way down the middle here and I believe even the the warmth and the heat from some many living things was also able to help radiate heat and save all of these root 

Bigger Orchard Trees

nce the the orchard trees get thick enough and big enough we really won't be
are really thick. This one here that's really thick, you have nothing to worry about. She'll be fine. She's definitely not

Winter is not Over

 

e're gonna come back here and we'll share with you guys some updates here as the winter time progresses.
Peace, love, and prosperous growing!

This amount is about 50 grams and that is about how much you want in one of these smaller vacuum bags. Keep in mind 50 grams of fresh greens is a lot different than 50 grams of wet greens, because it's about five times as much. We'll go ahead and seal that up.

Sealing      

and we'll go ahead and stick the bag right into the gasket area. We start the vacuum but we stop it after most of the air is out but we don't want to damage the cell walls of the leaves so we don't vacuum it all the way down. Now it's done and sealed. It's fresh with  we didn't break any of the leaves. It's not too too tight.
