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!

Really?.....I shall try this on some of mine. THe older generation eh...definitely got a few tricks up there sleeve!!

Dandelions are available from lawns near you.

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

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

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?
