    Being of the Cherokee people I was raised to know so many uses of edible plants. Mother nature is a beautiful blessing so many miss seeing. I find it sad more than not most aren't aware of common edibles in their own back yard. Medicinal, meals.. whatever the use of plants I believe everyone should be taught what can be found just in front of them they have never paid attention to.

      There are some plans that you should also be aware of the word for the longest time used as medicinal, but they also contain highly toxic properties as well like smalls ragwort, which is used for Burns ulcers in the mouth. It’s used for women’s periods and internal bleeding and like a dozen other things … but it’ll also mess your heart up and destroy your liver.. it’s not instant so it would have been hard for early humans to correlate deaths with the herb 🌿 🌸

    I'm a huge fan of foraging wild edibles and medicines. It is so easy to make salves and tinctures as well as other natural body products, laundrysoap and cleaners. The world would be a much healthier and better place if we all learned to forage and eat the plants around us. It would slow the polluting of our planet. We should not rely so heavily on big corporations to feed us. They are killing our fragile and beautiful planet. Please continue to make these videos! Thank you so much!!

      Our planet is super resilient. Cataclysmic events have changed it many many times, but humans, no matter how horrible, cannot harm this planet. For instance, did you know that the earth has started degrading plastic and styrofoam? They said it couldn't happen, yet it did. Did you hear that they proved our moon is in our atmosphere? Things aren't as they seem.

    I'm familiar with most of these being a gardener, so look forward to trying them. I recently discovered curly dock or yellow dock is delicious! It tastes similar to spinach but "brighter"! I've eaten it several times a week tossed in a skillet in a little olive oil until it looks like spinach. Add a bit of salt and pepper. YUM! I eat it as a side with an egg especially. This weed has always been hard to kill but I'm friends with it now! It has oxalic acid too so I don't eat massive amounts or daily.

    • @WalkInTheWildMedia
      @WalkInTheWildMedia  Před rokem +2

      By chance do you know how long roundup weed killer stays active in soil? I want to harvest some of the plants in our yard but my dumbass dad sprayed a lot of the lawn with roundup last season. Google says anywhere from 3 to 249 days but that’s a BIG time gap so I’m unsure if I should risk it this spring

      Yes it is a shame. All those pesticides seep into the aquifers and water tables and pollute the heck outta our planet. You should look into how absolutely evil Monsanto the company that makes "round up" is! They have poisoned people for years and known about it all along! ☠☠

    • @WalkInTheWildMedia
      @WalkInTheWildMedia  Před rokem

      @@carolineboer5218 This is what I found on the matter:
      ☠To help clear up Roundup or glyphosate residues in the soil, you can take the following steps:
      Allow time: Glyphosate naturally breaks down over time due to microbial activity and environmental factors. Depending on the specific conditions, it may take several weeks to months for the residue levels to decrease significantly.
      Water the area: Watering the soil can help facilitate the natural degradation process. Adequate moisture encourages microbial activity, which aids in breaking down glyphosate. However, avoid excessive watering that may cause runoff or leaching into surrounding areas.
      Enhance soil microbial activity: Adding compost or organic matter to the soil can improve microbial activity, which can help break down glyphosate residues faster. This can be done by incorporating compost into the soil or applying compost as a top dressing.
      Plant cover crops: Planting cover crops, such as legumes or grasses, can help in several ways. They can absorb excess nutrients, prevent erosion, improve soil structure, and enhance microbial activity, potentially aiding in the degradation of glyphosate residues.
      Crop rotation: If feasible, consider rotating your crops. Different plant species have varying abilities to break down chemicals in the soil, and rotating crops can help diversify the microbial community and promote the breakdown of glyphosate residues.
      Test the soil: If you have concerns about glyphosate residues in the soil, you can consider testing the soil for residue levels. Soil testing laboratories can provide analysis for glyphosate or total herbicide residues in the soil, allowing you to assess the situation more accurately.
      Hope that helps! 🌿

    • @WalkInTheWildMedia
      @WalkInTheWildMedia  Před rokem

      Wood Sorrel is one of my favs for its lemony, bright, acidic flavor. Really goes well in a salad to give some of the more bland wild greens some flavor. Its everywhere outside right now! Just don't eat too much of it at one time because it contains high amounts of oxalic acid which can mess with your kidneys. A good way to counter Oxalic acid is to have Apple Cider Vinegar or Lemon Water in your diet. Thank you for the kind words and comment friend. Have a great day! 🌿

    • @WalkInTheWildMedia

      Once you’ve picked the plantain leaves, you can use them the way you would spinach, kale, or other fresh greens-boil them, toss them into a stir fry or simply serve them raw in a tasty organic salad! The older ones can get a little more fiberous, so i could chop them up with a little olive oil and garlic and sauté them. 🌿
