The Lonely Libertarian: Medicinal Herb Garden

Medicinal Herb Garden

A month ago I inherited a couple of old tractor tires. One ended up a piece of workout equipment. The other has been repurposed as an herb garden. Of course, I planted the usual kitchen herbs, parsley, rosemary, sage, mint, and cilantro. Imagine my surprise to find out these are also useful medicinal herbs. I'm doing a buttload of research on medicinal herbs you'll need when SHTF, this is a new area for me, so bear with me. And if you have other info and ideas, send 'em along.

Good starting place:

Must have book:

This one has "Everything you need to know explained simply." Yep, that's about my speed.

RabidAlien said...: Wait....English or Standard buttload? Cuz there's a difference, ya know.

"Explained Simply": if it doesn't rely heavily on single-syllable words and crayons, I'm usually lost. The voices in my head can't handle much more than that (although porn can be 3D HD in a gazillion colors, and they're fine with that, for some strange reason). Headin to Amazon to check out the book right now!; June 28, 2013 at 1:06 PM

I saw this referenced in a "Today's Trivia" post and immediately thought of this very post. Funny what you remember sometimes...; July 2, 2013 at 1:19 AM
