    Nice looking website, very intuitive.

    I liked your video on reclaiming cast-iron pots by electrolysis, I bought some Washing Soda and will try that this week.

    Here’s my vote for a self-published book also.
    Hope you wander up to the Spud State sometime. We have Patrick McManus, I bet you two would get along fine.

    Fantasic new site Dean. I really enjoy all the knowledge you dispense. I like to juice fruits and vegetables, could you maybe add a topic on juicing wild edibles. Thanks for all your efforts.

    I’d like to know more about “environment” in the ITEMize ritual. I’m in Baltimore city. I can avoid car exhaust by sticking to alleyways. But I can never really tell where the dogs and cats have been.

    Assuming that I cook what I forage (sonchus, dandelion and such), how dangerous is animal urine? I get a lot of broken glass, too, but I don’t see that as a toxin.

      While animal urine is not a pleasant notion things from humans are a greater concern such as cadmium, abestos, lead et cetera. I would not worry about glass except physically if one got small shads internally.

    Thank you, Mr. Deane, for your wonderful foraging class in April 28. It was fun meeting you and learning about all those plants and edible insects. By the way, here is the info you requested: shell ginger leaves, brewed as a decoction, make a great wash for wounds, according to one of my neighbors( who happens to be from the Caribbean). I couldn’t find any references, so I’ll just have to take her word for it. In the meantime, good luck with your work and travels!

    you could have a written book to download, attached to a paypal account that customers logged onto and paid for the download by credit card…then sent you in a code number, you check to see if the payment is there and you download or send the “book” to their email…which they then would print out? doable? worth a try?

    Just wanted to find out about velvet leaf or Indian Mallow. The seeds are edible, but are very tiny. I use the leaves to make my bruises heal faster.
