In this video, Dennis shares his techniques for growing fava beans to produce shoots, flowers and beans, and to fix nitrogen in the soil. He explains the process of utilizing decomposed leaf water, rich in fulvic acid, to create an inoculant with nitrogen-fixing bacteria and how the inoculated fava beans develop robust rhizobia colonies, boosting nitrogen fixation.
He also covers support methods using a trellis, harvesting tips, and the nutritional benefits of fava beans, shoots and flowers, particularly their high levodopa (dopamine precursor) content beneficial for various health conditions like POCD, ADD, ADHD and anxiety.
