This plant always come in numbers and block the swamp at the back of our house. Please does anyone know the plant name?

Why not share a closer and clearer picture of the plant so we can maybe query Google for you.

According to the articles i have been reading about it, boiling the leaves and mixing it with the pigs feeds enriches the nutrients of the feed.

Mixing the boiled or grinded leaves or seed with animal excreates and other compost will add more nutrient to the soil.

And The Hyacinth is good for the human body
Good for Eczema, Hair growth, Sore throat, Indigestion, Diarrhea, Boil or Swelling.
