The vetiver roots will form a virtual pit much larger than the 1'X1'X1' foot pit that was dug up. The picture itself shows that the vetiver roots form a volume below the shoot. After several months, the roots can be upto 3 m deep (10 '). So the volume of the root zone is 280 litres (not 28 l, the volume of the pit). But this volume (even the pit) contains soil and root matter. So the volume available for water will be a fraction of the original vol. But still it would be very effective, especially as the water is infiltrated fast through preferential flow to 3 m depth. Another observation. The vetiver roots are shown to be vertical in almost all pictures. In your drawing, the roots are drawn to spread out and looks like a fan (fanout) shape.

Plant a row the Vetiver across the slope. No need for the pit. The hedge will create a water storing terrace as soil, organic matter and water collect

Can wee use as fodder for animals
Yes it is a best green fodder during summer.
This is very simple but very effective way in fighting with erosion.Perfect!...
Great job
Yes
It is a fodder. .
