I happened to stumble on a video that kind of followed in the path of utilize Mullein for land reclamation/rehabilitation.



I am not planning on utilizing the medicinal properties of the plant but the video also touches base on the uses of the plant. The creator talks about the usage of the plant primarily to build up his pasture for his goats.

I’ve seen some anti-mullein sentiments online recently so it was nice to see this.

Yeah, I love mullein, in large part because I don't know of any other plant that attracts, feeds, and shelters such a wide variety of insects and arachnids. It's incredible to look closely at the great mullein in my yarden and see the teeming diversity.
