Collection and preparation of grass

Campfire herb: description, properties and application

To have a supply of grass (it can be stored in dried form for about 3 years), you need to wait until autumn. It is during this period that the pala stops growing. And at the end of August, flowers appear on it. Woolly Erva is taken out of the garden along with the roots. It is not necessary to pull the plant, it is better to dig it up. Then you need to rinse the crop from clods of earth. The stems are cut into pieces that will be conveniently stored.

Dry grass

Raw materials are dried in a dry, well-ventilated area. Some farmers try to carry out this operation in an oven or stove. This is not recommended, since useful components begin to evaporate from the excess heat from the stem and leaves. You need to store the grass in a dry place where the sun's rays do not penetrate.

A gardener who decides to grow herva must have a greenhouse. If you just plant seedlings in the garden, due to insufficient temperature and humidity, the weed will not pick up the necessary medicinal elements. Therefore, you need to follow all the advice of experts on growing subtropical plants in the climatic conditions of Russia.
