- There is a fairly large variety of herb and weeds in our farm and many of them are harmful to human beings as well as to animals. The following is a list of the most important and where normally found.
herbs where found ancient use
hemlock on very poor land poisonous, [?]
mettle loamy soil food for foul
rushes on wet soil bedding for [?]
dandelion loamy soil kind of tea
[?] on log in ditches used for bedding
dock poor soil useless
the hemlock and the nettle are the most harmful weeds as they both spread so rapidly. Hemlock is deadly to human beings and to live stock.
