The man is providing free knowledge, the video quality is not that bad, while the content is brilliant. Keep up the great work!
You dont have to apogise for anything
Brilliant channel
This is life saving info
Bee hotels should face the rising sun🌞
Great video thanks for posting
Thanks for the tip :) why is that?
I like how, because many of these are common species, you have gone over them a few times over this back to basics series. It reinforces the main identifiers in my mind :)
Nice Bbq mate! I can’t wait to cook on it again
Can't wait m8! :)
book arrived ........thankyou excellent quality printing perfect bag sized book with great info and simple guides :)
I found the content really informative and easy to understand and your baby is gorgeous
Thank you :)
Please do not apologise, you are giving great content and advice for free.
Fresh curry leaves 🍃 yum yum
Another good video
Cheers mate I have found your videos very fascinating ty
Thanks for showing your edibles from your part of the world much love ... learning something from the comments too xoxox
Thanks so much for doing these videos, the book is also great. 😊
Wow you really don't need to apologise for anything. I love your videos and your knowledge is outstanding, you've taught me so many useful amazing things and I love how your videos are natural and down to earth !! You're now my favourite person to watch on TH-cam and me and my mum want to come to one of your courses!! ✌️
Very informative Marlow, thank you
I watched this twice :)
Yeah, I've been watching all the back to basics twice to try to absorb everything!
Loving these videos, thank you!
Hey, Marlow, get out of town with the apologies... this is gold standard... no... platinum standard material. My mind is being stimulated to a degree I'm almost unnerved by. 😄 And congrats to you and Rachel (?) on your beautiful baby.
Hi, thanks for the video. The slit at the top is a hole made for butterflies and moths I believe.
The only channel i allow notifications to pop through, great content mate!!
I am very appreciative of every video no matter the sound quality 👍. Keep up the good work man 💪✌️
Thanks for all the videos Marlow, much appreciated!
Pretty sure I've used curry plants for dips, heat some leaves and oil to infuse the flavour, then mix the oil with mayo. Great for dipping pita chips or mini poppadoms.
Will give that a go :) Thanks
Mango chutney, mayonnaise, ground curry leaves + chicken = Coronation sandwich 😊
Thank you. I agree with other commenters. You should have your own show!
new subscriber. been looking for a channel like this for a while, loving the videos. excellent and informative. thank you
Don't feel the need to apologise mate, especially about the quality. Your videos are great, and I see that reflected in the comments. Just provide corrections, but not with an apology, no need. Anybody that can get so many things correct, like you do, doesn't need these videos, and they are just out to cause trouble.
Beautiful Montana
Loving these videos!
Nice tip about Hairy Bittercress. I'll try it.
I also filmed that Cardamine plant recently along with other edibles, including some mushrooms too.
I collect Wood Ears from time to time, but I usually find them in til tree.
Thanks for sharing my friend. 👍👍
Thanks Marlow and 'Fingers' 😁 another great episode of the series. I do hope this isn't 3/3 because I need to get out (stay in) and learn some more about what's growing in my garden. Got a bite on my forearm from something yesterday, flicked it off and today it's swelled a bit and hot, should have done the Plantain thing straight away... Thanks all for the education. 👍
There's a whole supermarket of food out there. Great videos. I learnt a lot about the plants I see everyday on the dog walks. Many thanks for your videos.
Fantastic information ,your knowledge is incredible ,thanks 👍
Don't worry these videos are great amazing content
No need to apologise!! You’re amazing. Thanks for doing the work you do :) and authentically hehe
Great Video👍🏻 Thank you for taking the time!
I had wild garlic mustard for the first time last year, and it was recommended by a friend. I fermented them for eating and could not get enough of them. Thank you for Back to Basics series.
brilliant thank you
Just booked onto one of your courses in July. Very excited! Another great video, thanks for putting them together.
Excellent information again. I've just ordered your book, can't wait for it to arrive.
Wood ear mushrooms stir fry with garlic,ginger,spring onions and flavoured with light soy sauce add firm tofu for a delicious healthy vegetarian meal. I rather have chicken though. 😋
These videos are awesome, like fully 100% brilliant! I like to rehydrate jelly ear mushrooms in whisky, coat in dark chocolate then dust with sugar and citric acid powder. But hey, I'm Scottish so of course I'm getting whisky involved. 🤣 👍
The slit is for butterflies 😊
Thankyou :)
Always learn so much from your videos and I’ve just got your new book and think it’s great i love learn not just myself but my two kids and getting them out there in the great out doors thanks
Brilliant..the "Pendulous Sedge".. been trying to ID this ever since it took over my borders.. Seeds everywhere as pointed out but also deep rooted once it is mature and a mare to dig out especially when you have a load of them in a clump. Otherwise, really like it!
Hello! I quite like Ground Ivy- tastes like mint/lemon balm to me. Makes a nice herbal tea :)
Lemon balm in pasta sauces as a substitute for basil works nice gives a very summery flavour
Hello Marlow, new subscriber here, I've watched several of your videos now and I'm really enjoying them! Half of the weeds on our smallholding are edibles - who knew? Well, you did of course, but we didn't! When lockdown is over (I'm in Wales), I'd love to do a YT collab to show my viewers some of the wild edibles in our garden.
Sounds good :) Get in touch through the site when things get back to normal :)
I only found you channel yesterday. Subscribed and loving it. Already bought your book. Can't wait for it to arrive. Cheers
Brilliant video series, Thank you very much. Very informative and easy to listen to. Just wish I could remember everything you mention without having to resort to taking notes! That said, I have just ordered your book, so that'll help I'm sure. Best wishes to you and your family from Somerset
Those ear mushrooms can / will expode in the pan if fried, even cut up small first. And if collecting the purple dead nettle, beware confusing it with any of the varieties of henbit. It's not poisonous, but has a strong and revolting flavour that is difficult to get out of your mouth.
Amazing!
At a guess, i think the slit in the roof of your bee hotel, is to circulate the air, so it won't overheat and stops mold.
I'm the mugwort man 💪💪 no worries it's not in most people's gardens to be honest but I look forward to seeing it pop up in a video post lockdown
will do it when I get the chance :)
@@WildFoodUK1it's muchly appreciated! How was the chicken of the wood on your tree?
Green hogweed seeds are pretty pleasent as well. They remind me of small pumpkin seeds in both texture and flavour
It's a boorway for butterflys
I like how he always forgets to plug his own book! Haha. If you like this content it is definitely worth a look!
Thanks Terence :)
Just to let you know, the mint family contains a few poisonous types, most of them are in the genus Galeopsis, or hempnettle, the way to identify these for edible deadnettles, All of the hempnettles are spiny but the deadnettles are soft.
The curry plant is great for keeping the green fly and pests away
Good to know :) Thanks
thank you!
Belladonna, Henbane and the Daturas can toxify via the skin. Although that takes some heavy handling (crushing and extended holding esp) and a decent amount of plant material. Except maybe Belladonna berries which are a bit easier to be caused effect with a bit less.
It looked like that pasture is full of sedge. Cows hate it. They treat it like thistle. It will colonize a seasonally wet area. The little nodules on the roots are good eating, I am told.
Ground Ivy makes some good beers though
Ive heard dry wood ear mushroom makes good fire lighter also
The cloud ear strips go into hot and sour soup.
I use hedgegarlic in pesto; cheese really helps its flavor.
Bees need to let air through the hive they have an inlet and outlet to stop overheating that's what I think that slit at the top is for.
Curry Plant to enhance your parsnip and thyme soup in the winter/ Christmas ,m mmm ! And I wonder if the plant can be used to spice up roasted nuts, bombay mix , Coronation chicken sandwich/ Coronation chicken of the jungle maybe !? Thank you for these fantastic educational foraging tips ,Spring time April 15 2022 .
You can put up a donation page for a windproof mic.
Fascinating - on the strength of parts 1 - 3 I have ordered book. But in videos, more focused camera work on identification would help. So many leaves have look-a-likes!
Thank you for great information.
Funny you should mention coriander tasting different to me coriander tastes like fairy up liquid.. I remember nearly sending the plate back thinking they didn’t wash the dishes properly 😂
2:30 NOTE: The sap of monkshood/Aconitum can be absorbed through your skin and poison you.
Did you know that you can make capers from The buds of oxeye daisies?
Marlow - get a decent fucking camera please, decent sound recording equipment, and a dead cat too - won't take you more than a couple of days to research good gear. Your content is well worth the money. Keep up the great work.
And a fucking what now?
Use of the word feral?! A street pigeon is feral, the cats of Rome are feral... Carex pendula is a native plant... Even used as an ancient woodland indicator...
Pigs in Australia have become feral.. If a domesticated species escapes and breeds successfully without us... I have only heard it used to describe domesticated animals living and breeding independently... A plant that follows the meaning would be...so a man made variety, not an exotic, pure species that has naturalised...... Perhaps willing /volunteer apples.. Escaped from our direct "captivity" and maintaining a reproducing population in "the wild"... Self sustaining populations not a one off... Oh I've got one FIGS!!!.. IF they are indeed a domesticated cultivar that escaped fig roll factories, especially the canal banks of Nottingham... Feral figs? I think all figs are cultivars.
Ooh maybe the lupins of the the lea Valley... Definitely "naturaljsed" but only feral if a domesticated cultivar lupin not simply a species say from Turkey... Himalayas parakeets all over London... Naturalised exotics introduced invasive species!!!
Aah... The Italian Lords and ladies... Sweet peas!!... Possibly the fuchsias of Cornwall... The crocosmia of Wales... The rhododendron ponticum of Scotland.. A species!? Then up comes garden escapes, like yellow arkangel, ramsons, giant hogweed, Japanese knotweed, red dead spot nettles, feverfew, Michaelmas daisies .. AND.cosmopolitan Sporadics.. Like Cannabis, bladder senna, thorn apple... AND.. Ruderales...often Cosmopolitan weeds of disturbed anthropocene soils... Canadian fleabane, annual Poppies, broad leaved plantain (the white man's feet, according to native Americans!) possibly red currants in woodlands count as feral?
Italian black poplars... Hybridising primroses? Hybridising Spanish and English bluebells... The Canadian pond weed or crisp elodea might count.. A cultivar that has escaped and now reproduces in "the wild"... FERAL ...but its a term used for animals.. Like ferrets...white muscovy ducks...the domestic Honey bee... Maybe hops count as feral? The opium poppy... The loveliest wallflower to my eye is the less showy yellow one that is the best at naturalising and makes proper self sustaining colonies... There are a couple of favourite cyclamen "kinds' that are the best for naturalising.. Less gaudy... They both look more subtle and authentic than most and their colony spreads steadily but only crazy creationists use" kinds"instead of species .. It's going to be my new nickname for my beautiful daughter MERYL...
Hug a hoodie everybody!!!!
Hey Milo, I'm having trouble tracking down any St Georges mushrooms. I'm a member of a few groups and I'm seeing people with lovely hauls of them. Are there any bonus tips you could offer for finding good ground for them? Rock types, tree types, soil type and acidity etc. I live in the North of the UK near the Sheffield area. Thanks for all the vids, Steve.
I've been looking too but haven't seen any! It's been super dry down in East Sussex though, so I suspect that might not help?
i'm seeing them pop up in fields with footpaths through them, you'll see the rings. i believe they like chalky soils.
i've noticed in my area you can actually see the rings on google maps' satellite photos!
Look around the edges of any long established grassy areas. When I lived in South London they grew in every graveyard, so maybe try your local churches.
Look for dark patches in long grass I found some on an industrial unit good luck 🙏
On the WildfoodUK website, it states that the poisons found in Monkshood, can effect humans by touch alone?
Hi Jo. We wrote that page a while ago and included that point based on this article from 2014 www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-29949698 as we always err on the side of caution. I now believe the article to be incorrect as I have personally handled the plant hundreds of times. I have also talked to numerous florists and gardeners who regularly handle it and it seems highly unlikely that brushing against the plant was the cause of the poisoning in this case. We will update the page in our site accordingly so thanks for pointing that out.
wait......doc leaves dont work :O
I've heard stories of florists unknowingly handling Monkshood and feeling unwell afterwards?
I find it causes a rash on my hands and body after trimming ivy in the garden. How toxic is it?
I'm sorry but.. the bitter is BEST for u.. mostly ur organs.. but non my biz I just wanna learn..
Do you run any foraging courses in the year?
yes we run them all year when not in lockdown :( check the website www.wildfooduk.com
👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
The buttercup family is so disappointing - very little even remotely edible - the only one I can think of is nigella seed - and there are even a few warnings around about excessive consumption.
Get back in your house! GET BACK IN YOUR DAMN HOUSE
is pendulum sedge gluten free
The slit is for butterflies I'm pretty sure, my dad has one of those bee hotel things and is into his butterflies and thats what he says :)
I thought it was a hole for ventelation?? Thanks for the information
@@wildedibles819 I think its for them to overwinter :) no problem, love the vids keep em coming!
Thankyou :)
The slit is for hibernating butterflies. I add ground ivy to nettle beer and do like it in teas... Different strokes I suppose. Good video.
I'll try it in the beer, thanks :)
i simply cannot see the plants. No close ups to be able to visually identify.
Water 🤣 g&t ,
;) yup
These videos are some of the absolute best I have found for getting into safe foraging in the UK. Heavy emphasis on precaution as it should be with great info on how to identify plants I actually see on the daily. These have been my little pocket references guides over quarantine! Absolutely cant wait for more!
Really loving the videos back to basic, I always love to watch mushroom videos. One day I'm hoping to head down south to get onto one of your walks.
i wonder if the anti-nettle placebo effect attributed to dock is just misidentified plantain...
As mentioned below you don't need to apologize for anything.... everything is very educational
Really enjoying these. Thanks Marlow 😊
Like others have said, please don't apologise! Love the back to basics videos, it's helping me get into the world of foraging.
Agree with the others that you don't need to apologise, love your videos :) The only thing I would say (as an ecologist) is to take more care when calling something 'invasive'. I know in the context of pendulus sedge that you mean it is invasive in the sense that it is maybe unwanted in your garden and grows rapidly, but in the wider context it is a native species - so not invasive in the ecological sense! Lemon balm on the other hand, could be seen as being 'invasive' as it was originally native to south and central Europe and was introduced to the UK by humans. Cheers again for the videos!!
I don't agree that dock is a placebo for stings, but plantain is certainly better.. :)
Docs do have cooling sap, but as far as I know there are no medicinal properties likely to help with the stings. I'm always keen to learn though if anyone knows any different.
👋👍👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing, I learned new things today! 8}
That is a butterfly slith
merci
Great vid as always...!
My nan showed me to pick the tips of the nettle and crush them with a bit of spit and apply to the stung area, I do they same with my nippers and it works, could be a placebos
Misread "nippers" as nipples and was very confused hahaha
Ha ha yea bit of natural Sensation...!
@@najeyrifai293 haha :)
