Forgotten? I planted one this year.

For those thinking about planting these: there are black locust variants which don't have any spines. In Europe, we have them in huge numbers, in cities. No spikes on them at all. Because this tree requires heavy management (it grows like crazy, and if you cut it back, it suckers as well ... meaning it spreads underground and starts growing a new tree, from the same root mass), it's a really good idea to make sure you're not getting spiked ones.

Wow, best video I’ve seen so far on making this tincture. Thank you!

Good job

If you use the wood in building does it smell like sassafras

Man that a killer garden. We just put in tumeric and ginger patches

Black locust pods and beans are seriously toxic. Dont eat them! The inner bark and thorns also contain tge same poison.

This tree is everywhere in my back yard and all over Cedar Rapids Iowa. My dogs hate the thrones!

I can promise you, beekeepers have not forgot about the black locust. Amazing pale honey

Really nice video. So many uses for the tree. Peterson's Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants says that black locust flower clusters are edible, but the seeds, roots, bark, and leaves are poisonous.

For the locust trees that are larger in diameter to be fence post as they are, They can be busted up into smaller rails or posts with a sledgehammer and some metal wedges.

Lots of interesting info. Look forward to more. Best wishes.

i have many in my little orchard here in n. idaho. wonderful tree. the first one i planted in the 80's is much larger than the one you show. excellent nitrogen fixer. i plant them between my fruit trees but i keep them shorter.

We live 2 miles down the road from y’all and my mother in law is almost your neighbor! We Love seeing your videos!

Send me an email get it from my about section if your willing to sell me some of the root . Put sassafras in the subject please

Great video. I planted a locust this year and am planning to coppice it in a couple of years. Do you have any experience with that?

Im 64, grew up drinking sassafras root tea. Some 20 yr.ago? Heard it's considered cancer causing... have never had it,myself. Chiggers- neem oil helps take the itch away = good find. Use in salve or soap. 🍃🕊🍃

We used sassafras in the Springtime as a tonic. It is especially effective in breaking a fever from the flu.

Sassafras tea is our favorite year round tea. I started drinking it with my grandma and she used for the blood cleansing. Sassafras root is also where MDMA was first synthesized. The Sassfraoil is said to have banned because before LSD the kids were just drinking sassfroil from the pharmacy to have a trip back in the 60’s

I have millions on my farm… they have such beautiful sweet smelling flowers and fall purple seed pods. I get tractor tire flats running over them mowing pastures.

drank sassafras tea growing up for many years in Alabama

Very happy to find your channel. My family lives on some wooded property in the Canton GA area. How can we support you for more great content?

Awesome

I do not Know where you live. I have never seen one that big in Missouri. Awesome Video. Look forward to more.

I used sulfer powder when a kid in the south for chiggers!

I had an elderly neighbor woman when I was 10 or 11 in the mid 60's Ms. Matthews and I would dig the roots and she would make tea for me. And it does taste like root beer.

Dude I have a bunch thriving wild on my property all the way up in Maine Brother!! Cant wait to start my adventure with these beautiful entities!

Wonderful!🎉

6ft tall you say ?

Big back hoe fan here. I shall look out for a scuffle hoe to add to my inventory. Thanks.

once i got into a scuffle cause i called her a ho

So it's a fancy pointing device. Sweet.

Where did you find your scuffle ho?

Very interesting. Your hoe is a little wider than most. Sharpness is the story. I quiet like hoeing now that I have found a good one these. A good one is one with very thin steel. These make gardening a breeze. We humans are all different; another area is weed tolerance. ;)

New to scuffle hoe! Great info🎉here for gardeners & herbalists👩‍🌾

Black locust trees should be used for all stick built homes and decking. Above average strength and rot resistance is an amazing combination. Unfortunately, they do have challenges to overcome. I hope the universities can selectively breed out the susceptibility to the fungus.

So I can grow wine caps in my garlic bed? I have been searching for information on this so I'm very happy to see you had success!

I know where I can access black locust, but how does anyone reach the flower clusters?

😌 *Promo sm*

My budgies like to eat it

??? Didn't hear anything??

This is a cool weather or cold weather weed. Come summer hot time. It dies out or becomes dormant. The seeds it leaves is amazingly a lot. Good for live stock. I give it to my Chickens and Guineas. Eating it? Well perhaps.

Would love to have recipes using chickweed, like how to make a salve, etc.

I’ve eaten chickweed in a salad, I live in England. It’s a common ‘weed’ here. Lots of people don’t know that it’s edible and as good for you as any other salad herb. Also poultry love it!

Awesome closing-fun!

I found this video very helpful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

Whoah I think I have chickweed in my yard lol ❤

I have identified 14 edible weeds in my yard. Yes chickweed.

Cutworms love chickweed and I find lots there to give my geckos to eat.

I love it for chicken feed in the late winter to late spring. The chickens turn it into soil for the next year's crop of "weeds" & veg. 😎
