@570upcycle try horseweed. I know it gets huge!

@rennezoe Found a good article on it; http://www.eattheweeds.com/conyza-canadensis-herb-fire-food-2/

Interesting! Even the " weeds " have a purpose...

think it's actually called mullein. Which is another weed packed full of medicinal purpose. @rennezoe

Nice...I'd take mullein over horseweed Any day!

Locals here call it Pecker weed or Indian rag weed. Mullein is the correct name. It takes over fast and we try to get rid of it. Usually around my burn pile or gravel lane going out to the road.
