Great video. So coplanting dandelion with tomato is good. I get calcium deficient tomatoes a few times a year. Plus I enjoy dandelion leaves in salad. As I walked my new field, I took photos of all the different weeds in my field in a plant ID app. It is now homework.

Indeed. But, it also indicates potential shortcuts. You can use calcium sources on the surface to speed up the calcium uptake. Need to do a basic soil test first to see what calcium source is optimum. But, the additive is dirt cheap regardless. Nitrogen is the easiest. Grow any of half a dozen things you also want to harvest. As a bonus, I've never seen anything that's a faster remedy for a badly upset stomach than a yellow blooming dandelion flower. Pop it in your mouth, chew it up and swallow it. Yeah, I know it sounds crazy. Thing is, it works. Dandelion is edible from the leaf to the root to the bloom to the seed fuzzball after the bloom. You can even find recipes turning the long stems into a sort of spaghetti noodle. I haven't tried that. It sounds crazy. But, so does the rest. Daikon Radish: To hell with eating the root. It's too valuable to the soil. Eat the greens and later on when the seed pods develop, eat them. They're tastier than the root anyway. You do have to harvest at least one or two daikons though. How can you not pick a radish 3 inches thick and a foot long?
