I am a Army Ranger Veteran and only knew of this plants use of Indian Toilet paper, but was surprised to find out about it's other uses.

[EatTheWeeds]

@bramble3838 Then you might say it palys both ends against the middle.

Are there many plants you can eat raw? I dont cook plants. They lose too much beneficial qualities.

[EatTheWeeds]

@MickScarborough There are some several can eat raw but most of them have to be cooked because they are bitter, or have elements that are toxic and need to be removed.

are u serious cuz i need somthing to have with me on the go

[EatTheWeeds]

@heythisrocks Quite. I've tried to get some publishers interested in such a book since there isn't one, but...

youre intelligence and love is inspiring. I'm a rough young fool of a man, but i see this world's beauty isn't in the flash ive always been a part of. I'm studying plants and focusing on what I can eat in the woods now, getting out of the money world of control. Thank to your invaluable love and interest, I can study a pro online! and, you're voice is calm and scientific. Good all around. thanx! never stop!

@EatTheWeeds - Write that book! I vote for one for the Northeast first.

- Clear illustrations, photos and/or drawings of details

- ordered or indexed useful season(s)

- habitat,

...along with other issues like polluted soils, etc.

If no publisher will take it on, consider self-publishing. You already have an audience = readershop!

interesting show, I really like it.

[insomniacgrace]

This is so wonderful. Thanks!

@EatTheWeeds Great Vid! People are so ignorant to wild plants! They think food comes from supermarkets and Mcdonalds! The Native Americans were so healthy because they ate wild living food! They had no gluten and dairy!

Service to humanity = write an e-book for donation?

We need this information and we need to get this manner of thing in full swing for every continent and climate....?

Some one said that you call something a weed when you know not what it is good for.

All around us grows the answer to every need.

Western Australia is a tough climate but.....We need knowledge of native flora, what's left of it....=(

@MattSpon I didnt realize there were 2 of us... haha.

Man, you pretty much hit the nail on the head ;)

[DavidandJeannie6]

@firebrandsgirl I think so. Just make sure they get plenty of sunlight. Water until it is established and you shouldn't have to water much after that. The blossoms start out pink and fade to white so that you have two colors on one plant. The immature pods have the prettiest, silvery-white cotton packed inside the pod (boll?). It's watery when you pinch the seeds inside, so I use it to clean my fingernails when I've been in the dirt with no gloves.
