Tea is a great way to utilize this wonderful plant! We prefer to utilize the specimens we don't want in say our raised beds rather than purchasing them; it's super sustainable to consume the unwanted "weeds" AND it is highly beneficial to the human body!

I agree and use the fresh leaves all the time and fully appreciate the sustainability aspect of harvesting your own "weeds." Sometimes, though, there are needs for a large amount of dried material that have been tested for impurities ...like in homemade products people want to sell, and there are also those without access to unsprayed lawns who wish to use it medicinally, Thanks for the great article!
Pesticides are a unfortunately a very real threat to human health. We prefer to harvest from sources we can trust. Thanks for your input, @llball!
