    Great post! I do a lot f research on wild edibles in my AO. Always looking for natural sources of Iodine… Black Walnut hulls are also a good source.

      Yea, great post. A keeper; I printed it out. Iodine. The lack of which is now apparently more of a threat to women than iron; mostly because of a lack of awareness. People are buying the latest and greatest iodine-free salt (sea salt, etc.) The associated problems are going to get worse (cretinism, etc). I think kelp is a good natural source of iodine also. Dried Kelp is growing in popularity. I’ve read some kinds even taste good (LOL). I’ll wager they’re the unaffordable kind. With growing popularity maybe the prices will come down. Part of the problem is I haven’t been able to figure out the optimal, safe quantity. It seems you can take too much.
      Comfrey. I read that because of its hardiness and long tap root it becomes an ongoing source of mineral rich mulch for a vegetable garden but it can become a pain in the ass weed. Also medically useful.

    Growing, processing and storing these items in a usable product would make a great class. Another hint bro!

    I have been growing comfrey for 3 years now. My wife says its a pain in the ass but I think its great! It has not overtaken the garden as I have heard others say it would. In fact, I even dug up the root, divided it and planted in several locations around the yard. If it annoys you at any time just cut it off at the ground level and spread on your garden area, throw in your compost pile, or dry for use in a salve.
