Hi I never thought I would see a use for this awful weed.

Well its true see http://www.loveapplefarm.typepad.com/growbetterveggies/

Apparently its good for the plants!

Might give this a try what have I got to loose, oh yes my veggies!

Interesting  - I have heard of this before, but have never done it.
Not sure that I would stir it for 20 mins though ;D

[Bugloss2009]

she doesn't say whether you have to stir it clockwise or anti-clockwise........... :)

I have steeped marestail in water once.....never again. The smell was evil. Mind you-it wasn't heated, maybe that makes a difference.

I don't think so I remember the smell of my grandad heating soil, now that you come to mention it! AWFULL!

When I opened that site it looked like she had canned a very good looking ladies leg!
Did any others of you think that or am I just warped?

[Emagggie]

After another look I must agree... a lovely pair of pins. ;D ;D Just hope mine don't look like canned carrots ;D

Didn't she say she was using formalehide to pickle!

What an unreal garden though! Why doesn't mine look like that?  :'( :'(

You can scour pots or scrub floors with it. Who says it's useless? You've just got your plot in the wrong place, that's all.
