$900 for dandelions - sell your weeds!

[CHEEZYCAB]

I dont grow Dandelion in my Garden but I do pick it out of my yard and eat it. I have a small garden so I prefer to keep it to stuff that doesnt grow here natuarally.

[PrincessSpearmint]

Dandelions are weeds for heaven sakes, they grow everywhere! Selling them for a hefty price!

Ah, that's just flat out wrong, pick them when in season, free and delicious, so they say dandes

are delicious.

[marcjtdc]

why dont the raspberries feed the weeds?

[northwestblazinfire]

this guy is like the goerge carlin of gardening

[ERICWAGNERSLUCID]

I want to go to your farm and join in the dance, I'll even pick some weeds.

[smeejit]

Arugula = rocket in Britain.

[octohorse]

you can't use your lawn because of contaminants from drainwater, like weed killer pesticides from other people's lawns, and most people have lead in their soil as well

[otacon451]

dandelion root on google product search were something like $12 / lb bulk :/

[AngelNOLA]

You rock!!



[pshaw951]

How much of the dandelions were harvested to get $900?

[bluesdog88]

Damn skeeter is like the Yoda of gardening! what are the gloves he's wearing?

[nagromgreen]

[fuzzymode]

[punyhuman81]

Stop eating the crop

[StMeade]

Dandelion's are good when juiced with apples. Nutritious. 

Think of all the pathetic mcmansions in the suburbs with their fake green, chemically sprayed lawns. yuck.

[denali525]

Great video. I had always been told that weeds compete for nutrients, thus taking the valuable ones away from what you want to grow.

[paulwheaton12]

@denali525 some weeds do compete. Most don't.

[elmadas]

if you think here in italy arugula is worth 3 to 4 euros for a bag of 250gr and dandelion, cicory and poppies (the green leaves) and other wild edibles are worth more or less the same, ou can undersand how much vaue ou hae in your lawn ;) the pity I have dandeio for me only because I like it very much!

[elmadas]

i should add, look at burdock andother edibles which can make also cosmetics, like seabuckthorn ;)

[paulwheaton12]

@elmadas another odd thing is that people will pay for it at the market, but they won't pluck their own in their own yard!

[ConcernedMushroom]

@paulwheaton12 or worse yet they spray it with roundup

[ahnamay]

Love this video! Frankly, I'm rooting for a paradigm shift to where most folks -- not just the enlightened few -- actually want dandelions in their gardens! (Pun unintended but welcome!)

[paulwheaton12]

@ahnamay it's a bonus crop that also helps the surrounding plants

[odin422]

I eat the weeds!

[paulwheaton12]

@odin422 and which weeds do you eat?

[annafromontana]

Yes I like the weeds . the growing season in Okanogan is similar to Montana's.

[paulwheaton12]

@annafromontana what part of montana are you in?

[MikeTheGardener]

Very cool! What is the market value of tumble weeds?

[paulwheaton12]

@MikeTheGardener unfortunately, he didn't say! I'll have to ask him the next time I see him. He seems to find a value in every plant.
