This was an excellent detailed presentation, and always love a good Culpepper reference! Thank you so much!

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

Thank you so much for your kind words - and thank YOU for watching!

Another wonderful video. People who see my garden ask if I am a weed gardener, or a vegetable gardener. My reply is "Both."

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

Love it!!!!!!! (And thank you for the kind words!)

[@mariagillinson8527]

New to your channel Karen! Great info. Do you know what anti ancient grasses grow in Alberta. I read some that the reason ranchers in Alberta are saying that the wild horses damage the grasses.

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

I am thrilled you are here!! Thank you!! That question I don't know the answer to. Sorry about that.

Some dogs eat grass. I wonder if they instinctively know how certain grass can heal them . Thank you .God bless you

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

Dogs tend to know when they need grass. You are welcome and thank you for watching! Blessings to you!

Is this grass available in SA

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

SA as in South Africa?

[@virginiabossett6810]

I read it is from Australia

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

Several credible publications say it is native to Europe and Asia - and some also say Africa and yes, Australia.

400 kinds Wow.

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

I know!! Incredible!

[@mariagillinson8527]

Any idea why dogs eat grass?

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

"Ruffage" (sorry - I had to spell it that way!!! ) Anyway - they need fibre to have healthy stool and if they lack fibre in their food bowl they will seek out grass. Also - to help calm a stomach - often, like cats, they will eat it, the cack it up!

[@mariagillinson8527]

I’m thinking there are some sort of minerals or something ruse than just ruffage as they seem to always target grass there’s many other weeds around! Thank you kindly

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

@@mariagillinson8527 Thank you for watching!

[@paulyp1313]

They eat it as a fiber. This irritates their stomach, and they vomit. This is their way to cleanse

[@JasongCLJ]

oooo ...you have stinging nettle ! ..youre lucky..

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

I am!!

[@notmyworld44]

Karen, that chemical in that grass might be Cacodylic acid which is an arsinic acid. Johnson Grass has a lot of it, and it is dangerous if eaten by livestock. Is your "couch grass" Elymus repens?

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

Hi Wayne! Thanks for that! Yes - Elymus repens, I mentioned that in the vid!

[@incorectulpolitic]

@@EdibleWildFood-1 how can you tell the difference between Johnson Grass versus Elymus repens ?

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

@@incorectulpolitic The roots...couch grass forms a dense underground network of roots and white rhizomes...johnson grass forms a single clump of fibrous roots

[@incorectulpolitic]

@@EdibleWildFood-1 can you please make a video about these two types and show the differences ? If you do please post the link as a reply to my comment. Thank you

[@EdibleWildFood-1]

@@incorectulpolitic It is a great idea and at some point I can. I am on vacation out west right now focusing on doing videos on plants out here. Please email me and this way I will remember to let you know when it is done. info (at) ediblewildfood (dot) com
