FREE: Make money growing jewelweed

The listing, Make money growing jewelweed has ended.

My hiking friend just got an order for this plant wanting over a hundred pounds. It sells for $35.00 to $45.00 a pound. It is one of our most requested plants and we cannot fill all our orders..
This is the plant that Native Americans have used for years to treat poison ivy, poison oak, rashes, stinging nettle, etc. The hummingbirds go crazy over the flowers and you will discover many hovering over your plants. The plants develop little pods in the fall that "pop" at the least amount of movement and only contain a very few seed, and this makes it difficult to collect. Once started, it spreads rapidly. I do have a set amount of seed I've set back to list on Listia, so get them while you can. The plant can be used fresh to diffuse the oils when your skin comes in contact with poison ivy. The plant can also be sold to soapmakers, or try making your own soap. It's really very easy and I have a simple recipe I am glad to share. The plants have all dispersed their seed for this season so supplies will be limited.
It likes a damp or moist area to grow. Prefers some shade
but we find it growing in several different locations, mostly profuse near creek banks or edges of woodland.
Check my profile as I will be listing some of my soap soon.
It's handy to carry in your pocket when hiking, fishing, hunting, etc. I keep a bar near my outside spiqot that I wash up with after gardening. Can't live without it. I hike every day that weather permits, as wildcrafting is my hobby, and I NEVER get rashes. I will say, I use the soap often and regularly and timely.
Good luck on your bidding.

This auction is for approximately thirty hard earned seed.
