On May 22nd, we took a trip to ECHO in Fort Myers, ECHO is Educational Concerns for Hunger Organization. It is an amazing place just filled with a whole ton of plants (similar to our Food Forest but 10x bigger) and devices that can teach us how to be more resourceful and profitable.
People have been coming here from all around the world to learn how to plant properly. There are so many different techniques to planting, to cooking, to even purifying water.
Moringa, a plant with many different uses has been so unknown until we have been there. As you can see from the picture, it has tons more things that we never knew about. The best part about it all is that you can just pick it right off the plant and eat it. Moringa can also grow without roots. So if you just pick a stem off and plant it in the ground it will grow. The Moringa seeds can also purify water up to 95 percent. Just crush it up and put it in a liter of water. Once it looks pretty clear, place the bottle in sunlight and it will kill the rest of the bacteria! And you now have drinkable water that wasn't before.
The best part about ECHO, it is complete sustainable. There is nothing harmful such as gases and chemicals. Its 100% natural. ECHO is definitely a place to go.
