Thank you for posting this video!
It's my pleasure
Thank you for sharing
Love this plant my dear sister!!! I will reconnect with you on FB later today - a couple of months back my account was hacked and I had to start all over! (Actually a blessing in disguise!!) Love ya - and before September I'll call you!!
I have a garden of knotweed growing across the road from my front yard. It is late August and I just dug a bucket of roots to make a tincture for lyme disease. Prefer veniger over vodka for my base. Any additional info you could share would be greatly appreciated!
Pam good luck with curing Lyme Disease. I purchased a wonderful book called Invasive Plant Medicine by Herbalist Timothy Lee Scott. Knotweed is his favourite plant. He mentions how to make a tincture and the health benefits of Knotweed and other plants they call weeds.
I cured my Asthma with Japanese Knotweed. I put it in my daily smoothie. My Government MP supported me on this and wrote to the Health Minister.
You can see my Japanese Knotweed Garden video on my channel. Love this plant so much. Hate pesticides.
I have this growing on my front lawn of my property and its a nuissance for me, I thought you were going to show us how to cook it and consume it so i can atleast get use out of this dreaded weed
I posted many classes on my Japanese Knotweed cooking adventures. The only time of year it is really edible is in the early spring when the hollow shoots are tender and meristematic. Usually this is in the early Spring between when they first spear up out of the earth and are less than 15 inches tall. Sometimes you can take the tender tips of a taller stalk. I like to peel them, steam them a bit and use like you would rhubarb. I’ve made in apple pies, cobblers, salsas.... JK slices pair well with apples. You can pickle them but my FAVORITE way to eat them is to freeze bags full of them and use them in my daily protein shake along with other fruits and wild greens. :). I don’t have Japanese Knotweed on my land but I would visit a healthy location biweekly to harvest and fill my freezer until they were just too fibrous to use. I found this constant harvesting helped keep them growing and tender longer. Good luck!...next Spring that is!
@@WildBlessings Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate you teaching me about the plant. Its all new to me it's almost as if they came out of nowhere. They are a real pain to cut down and they regrow so fast! Anyways, I will take your advice and harvest them when they are babies and try it out.
@@supernayaaa have you found any solution? I just recently read an article on how pervasive JK is and they said cutting it is like cutting the head off a Hydra, it spreads the rhizomes further.
@@supernayaaa This plant, I feel, grows they way it does as it tells us we need it. As food it is amazing, and the roots have helped countless people in the treatment of lyme disease.
Completely inaudible. I really wanted had to go by the visual presentation.
It’s not bad with earphones
Turn the volume up?
