I live in Saudi Arabia in Al Madinah, one of the hottestand and driest parts in the area. We had a paved section in our yard , and the previous owner had 3 holes for working on his cars instead of a car left. The holes had tiles, lights, concrete floor sections, and stairs, and we just filled them with dirt and stones to make the yard look nicer. Comes rain season (which is once a year) Those holes packed with dirt and stones are now brimming with Amaranth plants, and they're spreading every where everthere there's a crack in the pavement. They're a very vivid bright red, which's just beautiful. At first, I thought they were some sort of weeds or something, but thanks to you, I discovered that they're useful. So thank you.

Which led me on a discovery path to these more desirable and edible varieties. Is there a concern for cross pollination between varieties? I am still researching to decide which variety I want to try or if I can try several different ones without concern. Thanks! Great video.😊

Do NOT feed Amaranth to chickens. They like it but it is not good for them. It contains oxalic acid. You would have to cook the seeds to break down the acid. Chickens can go into spasms and also growth suppressing anti nutrients are contained in Amaranth.

@@polywog9591 If you look on Research Gate, there are published controlled studies that dispute this. In fact, the oxalic acid is in the leaves and the leaves have less than most leafy greens chickens readily eat. The concerns were actually regarding calcium but this would only block calcium from similar plants and not other sources so is also therefore not a concern either. Clearly this should not comprise their entire diet but from everything I have read from reliable sources, it is a great resource to have.

The one good thing about that you can eat the entire thing if you want to die your clothing with certain varieties you can do that you’ll never get rid of it because the seeds are spread in the keep coming back so you always have food the rest of your life you can grow it like a micro green in trees and it grows extremely fast it’s worth it for your chickens for you everybody just thought I’d drop here on that one..

Also you can eat the leaves and stems of most amaranth plants. The leaves are somewhat like spinach and the stems can be cut and sauteed. I have a food forest going in to year 3 and will be growing several varieties of amaranth for the first time. I'll give the leftovers to my chickens by dropping them in the compost pile (which is in their run).

Love a landscape with beneficial factors. From pollinator friendly and my favorite, an edible landscape. So instead of a flowering kwanza cherry, why not go with an edible cherry tree like a rainer or a bing? Better yet, a cherry tree thats grafted with two varieties on a dwarf root stock. A blue berry hedge is so much better than an invasive privet hedge. Or a drift of winterberries lining your property instead of red twig dog wood.

Hello and you're welcome. I honestly don't know if deer like them or not. Our dog does a good job at keeping them away.

You're welcome. I am not sure if the deer will eat this. I don't have any experience with them here.

I have it growing on my property. Its about 24" in height) Lots of thorns on the stems. I found out the hard way thinking it was amaranth. (Which my plant net gave me the option of amaranth or pigweed) So I guess I'd better fet harvesting the seeds.

The pigweed version of this is by far the most invasive weed I have ever seen in South Georgia U.S. Please no not plant or spread this weed! Nothing will kill it. Pigweed will take over any spring crop. Makes your property useless for plant crops! Also it's like walking through thousands of tiny razor blades.

@CountryLivingExperience 2 года назад
It must be different then. This does not have sharp leaves or flower structures at all. It is not invasive after I have grown it.
@victoriadegand2393

@CountryLivingExperience

No. The seeds and leaves are edible. You need to let the flower mature and produce the seeds.

You can cook it like rice. Boil with water in a pot until if fluffs up.

It can be used for a flat bread but it has no gluten. You can use it as a puffed cereal or cook it like a porridge.

Let a fan run. Grab a pot with seeds and chaff .your left hand. Grab an empty pot your right hand. Now from the top pot, drop them into the empty pot... The fan will blow only the chaff away.👍your welcome. God bless you all.

They aren't allowed here in the city. Does someone knows a sanctuary or something similar for my rooster in North Texas? Thank you.

I guess you can throw all that extra waste to the chickens and get all that nutrients to the eggs. Now that I think about it, probably good to plant a small batch wherever you let the chickens free range
