I've been a little concerned with buying lots of hose, so I was interested in how I could 'grow my own hose'. Paul mentioned dandelions contain latex and have been considered by others.
Taraxacum kok-saghyz is the particular species that has been used successfully in the past for natural rubber cultivation. I am wondering if anyone knows where I can get these seeds at a reasonable price.
I went ahead and emailed them. This is there response.
"Hi Clay
