Weeds

Proving that all plants, including weeds can be useful…

Lantana is considered a weed in most areas. Some people grow it as an ornamental in some areas. Some say not to grow it in warmer areas but i have seen it taking over in some hotter areas.

I was reading in Jackie French’s book (A-Z of Useful Plants) that the leaves of Lantana can be used as a fine sandpaper or used to make a foliar spray.

Jackies book is currently not in print but if you can find a copy. Grab it.

To make a Lantana Foliage spray – Boil 500g lantana leaves in 1 litre of water. Strain and spray.
