Wow thats amazing having castor oil plant in your garden, no good about the smell though @TAB. My friend used to grow comfrey in her garden when it was banned. I don't know if the castor oil plant is poisonous will have to look it up. I used to use it lots years ago. They say to get one that is hexane free or something. I just got a small pump pak as a little castor oil goes a long way! Am excited about making more thermal heat protectant. I did see a commercial variety sold at stores recently for a really steep price. Something like $30 for heat protectant! I was shocked I can make mine for pennies free of perfumes and whatever chemicals they toss in. I see female influencers on you tube who are mainly comfortable middle class and they have all the beauty products under the sun which they promote - makes you wonder where all their salary goes. Having a submajor in marketing i dont really like how they sell products to the general public though

The castor oil plant is also poisonous to humans. I don't get it though if castor oil is sold at chemists and used in a variety of applications @TAB. They must be able to remove the ricin so its non toxic. I have a book on castor oil written by a country doctor and he used it in his practice. Anyway best to stay clear of that plant, it doesn't seem like a good idea having it in your backyard. Don't know what you do? Call the council? I know our council used to have a book on banned weeds that my naturopathic friend used to make tinctures out of when she was alive

i was just trying to be 'right' @SmilingGecko  re poison, yes we had in medicine cupboard as kid, used to give it to cats if constipated not sure what use on humans, prob same

I got to make some bone broth myself @Meowmy got stacks of bones in my chest freezer that need to be used up. Hope yours turns out ok. I put mine in a slow cooker for 48 hours with apple cider vinegar to extract all the lovely bone goodness. I use organic bones as concentrated animal farming practice leaves things in the standard bones that aren't good for you. If this is the case its not best slow cooking these for any extended length of time. I read that from a doctor and think @TAB said the same thing as he would know something about farming methods.
