This is one of my favourite overview videos of Vetiver Grass, Chrysopogon zizanioides; a sterile plant with a myriad of uses that grows in areas with humid/wet Summers (or a water phytoremediation plant in hot, dry areas). Mainly used as erosion control on heavily degraded lands in full sun as a pioneer to native revegetation.

This video used to be hosted on Vimeo but has been reuploaded to YouTube, hence the lack of views.

If you have any questions on how Vetiver works, ask away. Happy to answer all of them.
