That was a great video Larry, thanks for sharing! Do you know if narrow leaved plantain can be used the same way? I do have both locally, but the narrow leaved is more abundant.

Yep, and same basic uses...but in my opinion, narrow has even more uses since it can be used to make textiles.

Oh sure, it's a tiny ad, but under the right circumstances, it gets bigger.
