Default Carrot Tops (Green leaves)

My preserving practice is to make a drinkable liquid of all my plants. Slurry or juice if you like. Recently I have been incorporating carrots tops in the juice with success.

The leaves of carrot ARE considered edible and are highly nutritive, rich in protein, minerals and vitamins. They contain 6 times the vitamin C of the root and are a great source of potassium and calcium.

I seriously doubt this method is suitable for market gardening.

Did I post on the wrong thread? Is this a market gardening thread only? My apologies if I did otherwise Durgan. Why so rude?

Your comment is fine Ganado. Of course resprouting carrots wouldn't be feasible for a market garden but it is fun for the rest of us.

I will get more to the point.
Durgan cant help himself he is a fantastic person knows a lot but comes off as being rude.
For some reason I have learned to live with it.
Ganado You can post where ever you want and don't let anyone say other wise.
