So I have a lot of dried fan leafs that I have saved up now from multiple grows.
What should I do with them? Is it worth doing anything with them?
I currently throw out my stems
Make sugar trim into edibles
Flower well we all know what happens there.
Thanks in advance everyone just want to be able to use all of the plant. Don’t want to be wasting anything.
Feed all the plant waste to some composting worms or just plain compost the material, use as a mulch/top-dress. aka “The Law of Return”
“The Law of Return states that nutrients removed must be returned in the quantities taken away, in order to maintain a balanced ecological state and fertile soil.”
Not to be confused with Law of Return - Wikipedia, “an Israeli law, passed on 5 July 1950, which gives Jews the right to come and live in Israel and to gain Israeli citizenship.”
Love the fried fan leaves. I have wanted to play around with cooking with leaves but haven’t done too much yet. Hoping to find a good tasting plant to make a leaf and hemp seed pesto from.
Wow nice. My old Italian aunt used to do that with zucchini flowers. I use weed leaves in my smoothies all the time, occasionally I’ll put some in a salad… I’m definitely gonna try frying them!
I just feed mine to my bunny herd… Only problem is all 8 come hopping when they hear ya unzip the tents! And a few days ago…when the babies got in thru the intake and ate my seedlings.
One of the folks I helped to set up, started to raise rabbits once he saw how much they devoured them. I’d put a big bag into my chest freezer, once frozen they crumble down very quickly with just using my hands. Then I walk my yard and sprinkle them about like any dead composting leaf do.
Alright based on the previous comments I guess I will compost the leafs as they are powder so I don’t think it will fry up too good lol, I have a few pounds so I figured itd be good to double check first i Don’t have rabbits but I do have chickens and cows maybe one of them will like a treat. I could sprinkle fan leafs over my cattles hay. Sometimes they go so excited over the smallest things.
Incase anyone asks. He is in is the hay feeder and he put him self in there to have a comfy bed. He likes to rest his horns on the edge to sleep. His name is Flynn.
My dogs will eat them if I give them to em, leaves, stems, occasionally if they beg just right a small bud or 2. But they absolutely love the stems and branches
