HerbsThe most harmful weeds on the farm are ragweed pennyworth, dock, corn marigold or "yellow bottoms" as they were called. All these weeds spread very quickly. House leek which grows on houses cures blasts in animals udders. Garlic and Broom also have healing properties. The only herb used for food for animals is dandelion.
