Burdock (Arctium lappa) is edible in all its parts, and typically has vits A, B1, B2, C and E, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, sodium, zinc, copper and phosphorus. Used worldwide in trad medicine as an anti-inflammatory, digestive stimulant and diuretic, and shown in lab trials to be an effective antimicrobial, including against various species that can have a bad impact on our chickens such as E coli, Salmonella, Listeria and Staph aureus.what they have cleared out. I noticed that the burdock, cleavers and other sticky stuff. Also ragweed, wild aster, dandelion and plantain are mostly gone
Interesting that your birds have cleared it there. I haven't noticed my birds eating it, but there's a lot of it, so I could easily have missed the moment (it self-seeds all over a bit of waste ground here). I am going to harvest some this year and try it as a veg.
