hey everyone, i have been growing carrots in my allotment for some time
now and i have never understood why i cant make them grow to a decent
size, then i spoke to my granddad who told me to poor a bottle of
dandelion and burdock into a watering can with the same amount of water
and sprinkle it over the soil. it has something in it that hurries up
the growing process apparently as guess what?! IT WORKS! i thought that
i would share this amongst you so you too can have carrots as big as
mine!
a few tricks up there sleeve!!


So, where would i get a bottle of dandelion or burdock to mix with the
water. Thanks.

Dandelions are available from lawns near you.

Burdock can be grown, or purchased from an herbalist (google it).


I believe the original poster was referring to the British carbonated
beverage. My question is, does it have to be the real article, with
genuine plant extracts (i.e. Feniman's), or can it be one of the
multitude of artificially flavo(u)red knockoffs?
