It’s great to recycle and reuse things. So to find a use for all the weeds we have in the garden is amazing. I can tell you there are many weeds as I am "Head Weeder" in my spare time!
Head Gardener has been reading up about making our own garden feed. So by adding weeds into a bucket or barrel with some water, stirring it daily for two weeks it’s ready to use. Hold your nose though....it's a bit fresh in these two weeks. It just needs diluting 1 part feed to 10 parts water. Eat your heart out Monty Don :)
Having done all this research we also had a go at a soup using lots of weeds and edible plants. It is highly nutritious, very green and very tasty. Here’s a few of the ingredients: dandelions, lambs quarters, plantain, purple dead nettle leaves and flowers, red clover leaves and flowers, nasturtium leaves and flowers, lettuce, spinach & lots of herbs.
