It's Salad Days for Weeds
from The Wall Street Journal May 27, 2009

On a recent Saturday, Washington, D.C., interior designer Morrigan Green stopped at a produce stand and picked up some dandelion greens. $9 a pound? No problem. Says Mr. Green: "These are as good a yuppie green as you can get."

Gardeners have long waged war against weeds but one organic weed expert cultivates them as a new form of delicacy. Anne-Marie Chaker reports.
As suburban homeowners commence their annual battle against weeds, more people are paying top dollar to eat them. The dandelion -- perhaps the most common weed of them all -- is seeing a huge surge in sales at grocery stores. Other long-scorned greens making the leap to the dinner table include purslane, lamb's quarters and stinging nettles, a skin-irritating plant that can be eaten safely after boiling. Read More.

I'm not gonna lie...I convinced my boyfriend to go along with this last spring. We did the vermicomposting for a few months, but it didn't work out too well for us. I happily gave the "condo" to a friend of mine recently to see what she could do with it. I wish the best of luck to anyone who tries it. Maybe I'll get the courage to do indoor composting again, but for now, I'm sticking with the outdoor kind :)

Yeah, I'll break him down eventually! I sold him on the Nature Mill, but then I read a bunch of bad reviews.

I just read that article. If only my boyfriend wouldn't mind a few hundred squirmy roommates, I'd be into vermicomposting!
