Thank You Justeph! That made my day. I have been putting out alot of new content on the channel recently so theres new videos up! Thank you soo much for the kind comment. ☺🌿
Thanks for the comments. Im finally starting to get back into it. I cant believe I got that many subs off that one video. Hopefully I can keep the pace of subs up! Man your channel is awesome. You have put out soo much great content. Especially like your new Thumbnails with the Green Lettering. You can tell its a Juggernaut Video right off! Your branding is on point 🎯
Dude I am starting to do plant propagation.....i could use some tips and tricks that you have learned could make for a really good video maybe one with tomatoes and one with a more woody stem like rosemary.
@@LawnCareJuggernaut Yes it would! I need to get some propagation videos up quick! Been doing alot of water cloning of basil, mint and tomatoes this summer! 🌿🌱🍅
Last year I enjoyed the pollen spikes boiled and dipped in salted butter. This year I am experimenting with the early spring leaf shoots. Raw and freshly picked, they taste just like cucumber. So I'd like to dabble with other ways to prepare them and cook them, and yes, it is critical for your health to avoid plants in polluted areas, cities, along railroads and other places where pesticides and chemicals are used. Thanks for the educational video!
You are welcome Fleendar! I also thought they young shoots taste like cucumber mixed with sweet corn. Its such an amazing plant. Let me know the others ways you experiment with preparing them. Thanks for the great comment! 🌾
Cattails can be used as a natural water filter to some extent, but they are not a foolproof method for purifying dirty water to make it safe for drinking. Filtration: Cattails have dense root systems that can trap sediment, debris, and some contaminants from the water as it passes through. This can help clarify the water and remove some impurities. Nutrient Uptake: Cattails can absorb excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus from the water, which can help prevent algal blooms and improve overall water quality. However, while cattails can help improve water quality, they do not effectively remove all harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens that may be present in dirty water. Therefore, relying solely on cattails to purify water for drinking is not advisable, especially in situations where waterborne diseases are a concern. Hope that helped Alex! 🌾
Yes the stored pollutants would eventually be released slowly back into the environment through the natural decomposition cycle unless the plants were dug up and removed, but they have been used to help clean ponds and other aquatic areas because of this bioaccumulation / phytoremediator ability.
One option is composting, depends on the pollutants as to whether that will break it down into inert form. Could possibly use a TLUD gassifier to turn the stalks into char/biochar. I'm looking for a year-round gray water purifier in a greenhouse space (not sure if it lives year-round if kept warm enough), where I could maybe use the seed fluff as tinder or filler for bedding, and compost/char the growth to manage it as needed.
The "Swiss Army knife" I was referring to is cattails ability to be used for alot of utility purposes as well. You can make a bow drill shaft out of the dry stalk for fire making, you can make arrow shafts out of the straight dried stalks as well. The fluffy deed head when dried can be used as a tinder / fire starting igniter. The gel between the leaves can be used as a soothing topical ointment like aloe vera! Its got tons of other uses besides just being edible! 😁🌾

when I am in the woods near Cattails, I pull the center blade out of the stock and eat the tender white part. It's really fun to nibble on.
I like to do the same thing! Yum 🤤
I really like your thorough and clear content. I hope you will do more content like this and the spring edibles video from a couple years ago.
Thank You Justeph! That made my day. I have been putting out alot of new content on the channel recently so theres new videos up! Thank you soo much for the kind comment. ☺🌿

Found some wild glizzies!
Wow I see these everywhere around ponds. I never knew they were edible!
I know its crazy to think a plant we have seen all our lives and never realized it was edible all along! 🌾
Great information!
Thank you Anne! You are a gem 💎
YES
YASSS! Thanks for the comment Dyland. 🌿

Thank You soo much Jennifer! Its people like you that keep me goin! ☺🌻🌾
Nothing like picking wild hotdogs in the summertime.
I heard that they can filter dirty water into clean water to drink.

@WalkInTheWildMedia granted, yes, you still need to boil the water as well. The cattail just helps turn murky water to clear water.
@@alexphillips4644 Awesome! Thanks for the info man
How do they benefit by storing toxins in their cell tissue? Wouldn't toxins be released back when they die? Thanks for the video.

so what's with the Swiss Army Knife?

Cattails clean polluted dirty waters.
Your channel is going to be HUGH!
