I got a really bad case of poison ivy when I was a kid, and a local farmer gave my mom a bag full of goldenrod leaves. He instructed mom to boil the leaves, let it cool a bit, and bathe me in the juice. It dissolved my crusty poison ivy within hours!

As a former beekeeper, Goldenrod was the most important source of late summer honey. After the main honey crop was taken off, we'd let the bees build up their winter honey store which was mainly from Goldenrod.

I use it medicinally but a few years ago I used it to dye wool yarn and paper.. it was the MOST vibrant yellow. It didn't fade at all. I made a shawl probably 4 years ago and it's SO vibrant. Like the flower at its peak. I love wearing it in the winter.

@markm8188 9 ай бұрын

How do you set the color?

@RunninUpThatHillh 9 ай бұрын

@@markm8188 It was so easy. All I did was buy a little thing of alum from the grocery spice Isle. I used a teaspoon per cup of water. Just do a couple cups so a skein of yarn fits, or a bunch of paper. I soaked the wool (long enough to be thoroughly wet), or just dipped the paper quickly. You could let both items dry and dye at a future date, or dye it right away while wet. All I did was boil a pile of goldenrod for maybe half hour. Turned off, strained. Plopped the yarn it in (once cooled a bit) for at least an hour I think it was. Paper takes the dye by just dipping it quick and hanging to dry. It was hard to screw up. The one shawl I have now I did 5 years ago.. it is neon yellow still. :D I did the same with purple basil, exact same thing. It came out this gorgeous purply/grey color.

I think most plants turn things tan or yellow..but those two plants are amazing without any fancy mordant or toxic stuff used.

@marahdolores8930 9 ай бұрын

@@RunninUpThatHillh thank you for sharing that! I was going to ask which mordant(s) but I was beat to the punch. Another very vibrant natural dye is pokeberry. Poke is pretty toxic, so keep the berries (or leaves) away from children & pets, but the resultant bright magenta pink is another brilliant natural dye. (Poke sallat takes special handling to make edible.) Girls used to make a temporary hair stain with it, but mordants will set the dye. (Sorry, don't recall which mordants will do the trick, but I know you can search the interwebz for that & find it pretty easily.) Beauty berry (Callicarpa americana) is also ripe in September. Not sure if that brilliant pink would translate to any shade of pink with the proper mordant or not. (But it does make good jelly and pie filling.) There many are other good natural dyes you can grow & forage and the colors you end up with can vary a lot depending on which mordants you use. Blueberries, elderberries, horsetail, red cabbage, marigold blossoms, yellow onion skins, hollyhocks, Larkspur, beets/pickled beet juice, sunflower, amaranth, tobacco, heather, chamomile, dandelions, dahlia, cosmos, sumac, walnut, maple bark, red alder, butternut, cane berries, blood root, sassafras, crocus (saffron), coreopsis, and many more plants can all produce dyes of varying color. You can grow madder root, woad, lady's bedstraw, indigo, henna, and other traditional dye plants in your garden. (Note that some, like woad, are more intensive and/or toxic to process.) Alum, baking soda, copper pipe, ammonia, cream of tartar, wood ash lye, sumac twigs, urine, salt, vinegar, rhubarb leaves, oak or grape leaves (tannins), are all mordants that can be used in dying. I remember ladies in my spinner's flock that collected old wheat pennies to use as mordant (a handful in the dye or pre-soak pot???). I used to handspin, and white wool, while pretty, stains easily and can yellow over time, so you usually want to dye it. I am also a gardener & plant nerd, so making natural dyes is something that has deeply interested me since about 1995. I did play with dying wool and eggs for pysyanky many years ago.

Interesting fact about goldenrod’s history, back in the 1920’s the Ford company we’re trying to figure out what materials to use for the tires. Goldenrod has a nice amount of properties you can create rubber with, they were going to use goldenrod due the properties but had decided not to for the first vehicle’s made by Ford. I am big plant and garden enthusiasts, goldenrod was the first wild plant I foraged in adulthood. By far the one medicinal plant that will always be close to me and always feel down for a lil bit when it’s gone for the year.

In the northern areas goldenrod is one of the last plants to still be blossoming in late autumn to provide food for bees and for monarch butterflies before they leave for their long migration south. If you don’t have any it’s easy to find the seed heads after the flowers have gone by in the autumn.

As a young man I had my first home out in the country ; Grape nuts commercials were prevalent back then . I remember Euell Gibbons saying in one commercial , " Did you know that goldenrod makes an excellent tea ? " So being ignorant as to what to harvest , I pulled it by the roots , hung it in the root cellar portion ( dirt floor ) section of my basement , hung by the roots . My dad came by one day , saw the golden rod and says " What the hell is that ? !! " I replied " Don't panic old man , it's not pot , it's goldenrod. "

You should do wild hemp, which is likewise medicinal in flower and useful for the making of tools of adventure. Wild hemp is usually leggy in Minnesota, and aromatic! I always manage to find a few specimens where I live. They're not heavy, much wispier than their drug plant relatives, with sparse, big leaves. Still, they grow a little CBD naturally. Hemp's another of nature's cures for so many ailments, and finally legal (and popular where I live). Anyway, keep up the good vidz!

This is such good information. Thank you! We have several types of goldenrod around here (WV), including woodland varieties that grow in the shade of the forest.
