So...are you able to harvest and sell???? For Compost or Animal feed??? I just learned what a SUPERIOR Animal feed it is...Dry is 40% protein and you could make/ sell for pellets??? Or... Allow people to harvest???

[@rephaelreyes8552]

I believe you can eat it too

[@thesilentone4024]

Vegetarians drink it.

[@Oasis_Desert_Rose]

Well, 9ne 9f the issues you must deal with is this plant removes all impurities from the water and hold onto it...if it dies it releases it back to the water, so it should be tested before ANY use for animals or humans...
