USE EVERY PART of the plant you cut

You guys are assholes. I was inspired by this and spent the whole day buying jewelry and clothing supplies in order to temporarily transform my garden waste into clothing and jewelry. I spent $260 on supplies but now have a skirt made of fan leaves (for a few days) and some god-awful marijuana leaf bangles to sell on etsy. I feel better about conserving.

It has been documented that the roots provide an anti inflammatory function.. yet another use.
But so do the roots of over 1200 other known roots. I took a year of naturopathic medicine while feeling out college. I do not have a degree in it, but I can get around the subject quite well.

Ok, I finished. After a week I have made a couple dozen dream catchers out of stems, a pair of fan leaf chaps, and about 300 bangles and necklaces out of the small leaves. WTF DO I DO WITH THIS CRAP NOW? I spent 60 hours to save about four cubic feet of landfill, not to mention the sizeable investment in various craft supplies. I really wish I just threw this crap away and did something productive. #hippyfail

My root hash project is consuming consumables, and i don't even have a product in beta.

I think its far better to recycle all that crap back into your dirt for reuse....I use a solvent to strip the trichs leaving the green plant matter full of nutes to be composted in. Tilling the roots in is also very beneficial for soil life ..I always reuse my soil and the root ball from the last crop is always left, the root hairs are really wonderful for your rhizosphere secreting all kinds of yummies up to 2 years(so they say, I feel more like 6months to a year)
A lot better for the environment this way.....

When I was in soil, that's how I ran, also. moved to coco, used the roots and misc. as compost for tomatoes and such.
