  • Thank you. Wonderfully done. I really enjoyed this series. Please do more of these.

  • Excellent series ... thank you for sharing your knowledge! Definitely learned a tremendous amount - and the short segments were helpful in allowing me to 'mull over' and therefore better retain the various aspects of this wonder plant ;-).

  • Great series guys really enjoyed it and learned a lot.

  • Excellent series on cattail. Thanks for posting.

  • If there is any thing I needed to Know about Cattails I have found my sites! As far as eating the "Tubbers" I find them to be the same as water crest. But maybe there is a difference in climate as im in Missouri?

  • Excellent production. Thanks ! - I learned a great deal.

    Inner bark?, Huh? ... hmmm.

    Wondering about bedding (mat and fluff), just to pad and insulate a sleeping spot (using a tarp or bivy sack, on top. I am wondering if the leaves would crackle and lose all their loft, once dry, and if the fluff should go under the leaves, or in layers, etc. ?? Also wondering how long such a bedding spot might last, given that bugs and rodents might "move in" with me ... raised bed-frame? ~boughs

  • Use the leaves when green to weave baskets or mats and as they dry they tighten up making for a water tight bowl many times.

  • Awesome series, just the info I was searching for. Thank you!!
