dandelion and burdock makes your carrots grow ginormous!
 
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!

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?
