Ads are how we can repay you for your time and knowledge. I’m willing to sit through ads for quality content! Thank you for the information!
Ads can be most annoying and so when I post a vid, I always choose the least invasive...the ones you can click off. The reality is, if I do not monetize them - YT will. Thank you so much for being here and your kind words!
Fascinating video! You've taught me a lot about what I now know are cleavers ! They definitely took over one of our smallish abandoned veg gardens .! Loved your story about the elder's wisdom , that plants will draw you to them in time of need, and from what happened to your foot, it certainly happened just as the elder said it would! Thx again
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! I've been selectively letting the cleavers spread and proliferate in my yard. They're fun for the kids of course, but I'm trying to build up my own natural pharmacy in my yard!
You are welcome and how wonderful growing your own pharmacy!!!
Thank you so much! I’m just learning about this plant because at my wellness check, my LPN told me to research it! I have swelling in my left foot a lot! 8:36
I just put them in the garbage when I weed my flowerbeds. Next time I would treasure them and use. Thank you for information.
You are most welcome and thank you for watching!

We happened upon your channel and were not aware of the cleaver plants in our yard. Thanks so much for your wealth of information about the benefits of this plant! We will now use this herb! PS Loved your story!
Thank you for watching!! Cleavers cleaned up my foot so fast. And it was nasty!!
Loved personal anecdote, thank you!
Thanks another beneficial video! I like the personal take on how you've used this plant. That will help me remember what it's good for. Our little dog used to come home with this clinging to his fur. :)
Ah thank you Karen! Oh my - your dog foraged for you!!! :) Better that than those burdock burrs!!
Thank you.🙂👍

In RUclips's most recent terms of use, they can put ads on videos whether they're monetized or not. Personally I use an adblocker, but I feel like if they're going to put ads either way, you might as well make money from it.
Wow - - that I did not know. Thank you for telling me this!
I am new to foraging and new to your channel. SO GLAD I found you. It is nice to have a Canadian source. Since I just found out about cleavers, mine are finished blooming and I read in a book that they are best used before seeding. How long do you forage the cleaver leaves? Do you dry many for winter teas (if you can dry them at all). Thanks for this info. I LOVE your channel. Thank you.
Rhonda thank you for being here! I am so glad you are here! I gather mine up to the time they flower. Yes, I dry them so I can enjoy a cup of tea when they are not in season!!
Thanks for the share. I have some growing in my front yard & wanted to know if it was viable for use. It's great
Many thanks, good witch ; )
How do you prepare this for tea
I just take a small handful, put it in my tea pot and let steep 20 minutes!
How do you eat it or make useful tea? Thank you!
Thanks for the great info of uses . I have alot in my garden I never thought that it has any more benifits than just clinging to our clothes and annoy us🤣🤣wondering how the green juice wuld turn out. Will give it a try. Do you mix anything else with the green juice ? Thanks
Ah yes "Sticky Willy" does attach itself nicely. whatever you have you can juice with it - I love it with kale and blueberries!
Thank you for this wonderful information. Can you make a tea using dried Cleaver leaves/stems or does it need to be fresh?
Thank you for your kind words. Fresh or dried - I prefer fresh! However, I also gather enough to dry and have on hand throughout the year.
Thank you.Tell us about Comfry.I used it help my broken bone.thanks again.
Perhaps next year!! I have quite a few vids I'm working on right now!!!
Does it have to be dried while it’s still flowering? Or will it be effective for urinary and detoxifying if it’s dried after the plant is done flowering or in the seed process? Thank you so much for the great information.
They are best prior to flowering - although there will be some benefits as they flower... just not as good. Once flowering, most of the plant energy is going into seed production.
Awesome info! Can a tincture be made from these or is a tea better? Thanks😊Regina
Hi Regina! Either one is fine!!! Tinctures are good - so is the tea!!
Hi there...I just subscribed. I found you by googling Cleavers as it is great for edema. Can I use the stems as well as the leaves in a tea? What type of terrain will I find this in? Can I order some anywhere? Thank you.
Thank you for watching and subscribing! I am appreciative! Yes, use the stems as well! They grow in many areas, more often than not I find them along woodland edges. My website may help you with more information. www.ediblewildfood.com/cleavers.aspx As for ordering dried cleavers, if you are in the U.S. try Mountain Rose.. mountainroseherbs.com/cleavers You can also buy it as a tea. There is a brand called Celebration Herbals and they have cleavers tea!
Ela está por toda a parte em Portugal .
Bom saber!!
Do you make tea from fresh or dried Cleavers? Thank you!
Both. Fresh when in season. I forage a lot and dry it for when I can't get it fresh!!
❤
Lots of cleavers in my yard.Looking for ways to use it.
Lucky you!!! Tea, toss into smoothies, chop finely and add into salads, casseroles, etc.!!
This stuff is killing my Tiger Liilies. Is there any way to get rid of it?
Carefully yank it out before it flowers. However, there will be seeds in the soil so you need to be getting it every time it grows.
💚🌱💚
My cleavers are skinny and have balls on them, it’s April, have I waited to late to harvest this plant?❤
I'm not sure what that would be this time of year -- old seed pods?
What would the measurements be for a tea?
It depends how weak or strong you like it. There is no "for sure" answer. I would play with the amount until you get the flavour you love!
Can you use in a salad?
Yes and no. You could - - but it is hard to work with in that manner.
Hi this is very interesting thanks. My dog seeks this plant and eats it. Is it safe for dogs to eat?
Your dog is fine! They can it in small amounts.
I'm wondering if he is lacking something in his diet.
@@kathrynhoskin3225 Or his blood needs purifying for some reason? Cleavers cleanse the blood - also well known for relieving edema and to promote urine formation during bladder infections.
Unfortunately this is in the same garden bed that I found poison ivy in I assume it’s inedible now!
I would still gather the cleavers so long as they are not touching the poison ivy!
Is there a limit to how much a adult should have?
Moderation - always!
Thank you so much! I’m just learning about this plant because at my wellness check, my LPN told me to research it! I have swelling in my left foot a lot!
