The People’s Apothecary Garden - Plant of the Week #8 - Comfrey

This invasive plant should never be ingested as it’s considered toxic - to both humans and livestock! But (but!) it has been used as a poultice for centuries to help heal joint pain, sprains, strains, bruises, and sore muscles. It’s also considered a powerhouse in the permaculture garden and can be used to activate compost, brewed into a nutrient rich compost tea, and is an excellent mulch.

Small Acreage Wanted

We have friends who are looking for a small piece of land on Thetis Island (.5 aces to 2 acres) of raw land. If it has a well or septic on it that is a bonus.

You can contact Ken or Genny Redman at 250-210-3087.

Milk Crates

I am wondering if anyone on Thetis has any heavy-duty plastic milk crates that they are wanting to part with.

If so, please contact Jesse at (250) 588-3369.
