Comment on The good oil: palming off the problem by The Garden Doctor

Subsistence farmers sell whatever they have left over, and usually grow a variety of crops. In this case, the oil palm is so productive it can potentially produce a larger surplus and move subsistence farmers into economic independence.

Great article, but by definition a subsistence farmer doesn’t rely on selling their produce.

thanks for that. yeah I don’t mind a bit of self-seeding. Anything the chickens like to eat that ISN’T my veggie garden is fine by me! It’s possible the seeds came out of the chicken’s scratch mix – it’s growing right near the coop. You never quite know what seeds are in those mixes!

Hi Helen, check if it’s wild mustard, there are a few mustardy looking weeds around, if so, don’t let it seed, try broadcasting some mustard seed around of a variety you like. I am partial to the Giant Red Osaka Mustard myself. But I guess if the chooks like it, there’s no real need to get rid of it completely!

thanks for showing this. I now know what the wild plant growing next to my chicken coop is! I’ve been wondering and waiting until it flowered before I could tell. The chickens love eating the leaves – I hope it self sews. Thanks very much!
