Cut the milk weed stalk and use the white liquid to use on poison oak and ivy on your body. It will dry up the ivy.
I'm confused, if it's poisonous how can it be medicine. My cat has asthma. If it's possible to use safely. I found some and wondered if some how it can be used in a soap.
As a hunter ,I have seen milkweed pods, broken open ,and the stuffing (seeds) used to determine wind direction. This can be very helpful in determining which direction to approach certain game animals from.
Was milkweed used in life vest in WW11. I am a 7 year old remember collecting it.
The flowers smell wonderful and are pretty on the table
It's easy to separate the floss from the seed. Simply put open pods in a gallon size ziplock bag. Rub the outside of the bag back and forth. Shake, and now you have floss on the top and seeds on the bottom! I'm collecting the floss to make a pillow and bagging the seeds to give away. Save the butterfly!
As a child in 1960's my Father mailed about 25lbs. of Milkweed roots to an entity that paid him. I have no idea of the name of the entity. Will someone please provide me with information to contact them?
I have plants that was told are milkweed. Pictures aren't really helpful at identifying but cut them down and they grew back BIGGER.Dont want to destroy something useful but really need to know more.
I would love to garden with some milkweed to enhance life in my space for animal friends, especially butterflies.
I would like to purchase the silt to make a pillow. Is that possible?
I was in grade school during the 1940's and collected many many pounds of milkweed pods which were used as filling for life vests for the Navy during WW2.
It’s been told that milkweed is good for pain killer
Thank you!
