15 REASONS TO GROW BORAGE + WAYS TO USE IT - RURAL SPROUT

Estimated Reading Time 8 mins
- Borage is an Edible Crop. One of the main reasons to grow borage in your garden is as an edible crop. You can eat the leaves, raw or cooked, and the flowers, raw, as a garnish or in drinks.
- Borage Looks Beautiful. Wherever you choose to grow it, borage is beautiful as well as useful. Blooming over a long portion of the year, borage can bring a cheery splash of blue to your garden.
- It Self-Seeds Readily So Pops Up Year After Year. One of the interesting things about borage is that, even though it is an annual, it will generally, once planted, remain in your garden for years.
- Borage is a Dynamic Accumulator. Borage has the ability to dynamically gather nutrients from the soil. This can help reduce nutrient leaching and make sure that nutrients are gathered and stored.
- So It Can Also Be Great as Mulch. Since borage captures and stores nutrients (such as potassium) effectively from the soil, it can be beneficial when chopped and dropped around other garden plants as mulch.
- Or On The Compost Heap. As chopped plants, you can also add borage to your compost heap or other composting system. As a nitrogen rich green material, which is also high in potassium and other essential plant nutrients, borage can help all the materials in the heap to break down.
- Or When Used To Make a Liquid Fertilizer for Your Plants. Another way to use chopped borage is to make your own liquid fertilizer or liquid plant feed for your growing areas.
- Borage Helps Break Up and Aerate the Soil. This plant’s roots have a simple structure, but the way in which they penetrate the soil can help to break it up and aerate it.
- Borage is Great for Bees. But perhaps the most important function borage fulfils in a garden is as a boon to bees and other pollinators. We are currently in a worrying period of mass extinction.
- So It Also Aids in Effective Pollination. What is great for the bees is great for the gardener or grower too. By planting bee-attractant plants like borage, we can make sure that pollinators are around to pollinate our crops.
