Date: February 17, 2009 01:49PM I have a huge amount of aloe vera growing in my yard and wonder how one would eat/juice it. How do you eat/juice your aloe vera?
Mona Glance at the past, but don’t stare at it. Re: What do you do with your aloe vera?

Date: February 17, 2009 04:08PM I have several pot plants in my house. I have never eaten it - i must look into that, thanks for the idea. I use it when i burn myself. I snap a little piece off and rub the sap all over the burn - it's very cooling. I think that the burns heal more quickly. Re: What do you do with your aloe vera?

Mona It is not the experience if today that drives people mad----it is the remorse or bitterness for something which happened yesterday and the dread of what tomorrow may bring. Re: What do you do with your aloe vera?

Date: February 19, 2009 11:37PM How well do aloe vera plants respond to having bits snapped off of them? i.e. how much can be broken off without killing the plant?
I saw one in a garden centre sale the other day and almost bought it, but stopped when it occured to me I'd feel pretty mean breaking lumps off it! Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
