I got a bug bite while working on woodland care BBs. I mashed the poultice with my teeth.

For this badge bit, you will create a plantain leaf poultice.
- Make plantain leaf poultice, with pictures of it being made, and of it being finished.

To document this BB, post pictures or a 2-minute video depicting the following:
- Your plantain leaves being harvested
- Your poultice in mid-preparation
- Your completed poultice

I'm pursuing SKIP to inherit property, check it out for yourself: SKIP book or maybe you're my Otis/Otessa match?
I created a thread dedicated to my countdown to PEP2, please come visit and ask a question!
I love that Rocket Mass Heaters are Carbon-Nuetral. In Erica's and Ernies Art of Fire Presentation, Erica explains the chemistry of how that's possible!
I attended Helen's Garden Master Course in January 2022 and give the lectures 10/10 acorns! Fortunately for you, you can also see the Garden Master recordings but unfortunately you'll miss out on the fruit Helen grew and shared. It was the tastiest fruit I've ever had!

I made plantain poultices! Fresh may be best, but having wanted a plantain poultice several times last year when it wasn’t in season, I’m planning ahead this year.
