    I have several moringa trees at home. They grow quickly so you can chop them to make bushy. The leaves can be air dried to make powder to add to your soups and stews. (One time i harvested so much that i left them at a corner in my dirty kitchen and forgot it. I saw a dark non sti ky juice instead. I doused my trees and plants with it. They grew vibrant leaves.) I use the more mature ones or dried stalks even.

Chop a 2-3inch trunk and chunk it in a pot (so you can prune them to bush) or on the ground (they grow really tall and fruits are long ribbed ones they are fun food to eat. They grow well under the sun and with adequate watering. The leaves that fall can be fermented as liquid fertz. No waste.
