Observations specifying this field
| Observation | Miscellaneous advice |
|---|---|
| If you want to grow pine, keep in mind that the needles have weed-repelling properties and many plants do not like to grow underneath or around pine trees. The needles make great mulch for plants that tolerate it but it would be wise to keep pine separate from other garden plants, especially if you grow "weeds" or similar plants intentionally. | |
| After picking, you can: feed whole, chop before feeding, juice to make a dandelion drink, or dry for future use. | |
| Clovers are especially loved by chickens, and they can have this plant in unlimited amounts. In fact, it is one of the best greens you can give to your flock! | |
| Freeze the flowers in ice cubes for an attractive addition to drinks, punches and cocktails! Violet flowers have a history of being candied and used to decorate desserts or garnish salads. | |
| The mature roots are quite large and notoriously difficult to dig up, but even young burdock plants produce enough root material to be worth harvesting (and will save you the hassle of digging several feet down). | |
