Holli Richey's blog is an incredible wealth of information about common plants and their uses. Richey hails from Georgia, so we see a lot of the same wild plants. Even if you don't want to drink dandelion tea, might I suggest brewing a
compost tea with some dandelion leaves thrown in? Richey explains,
"Dandelion’s saw-toothed leaves are diuretic and high in potassium salts, supporting kidney health. The vitamin-rich leaf is higher in vitamin A than carrots, and also contains vitamins B, C and D."
Especially as we enter tomato season when potassium deficiency is about as common as the dandelion.
