Very cool Jamie, that looks like a ton of work.  It came out really nice.  Also I'm glad to see "Phragmites Useless" does indeed have a use. 

jamie:
thanks guys, rick phrag is great for blind material, and actually is a pretty good food source too. kinda like kudzu vine though, doesnt get used, so its left to take over and then poisons have to be used to control it.

ricktrojanowski:
What part do you use for food?  Root, like cattail?

jamie:
young shoots are edible.. young roots can be used like potatoes. older ones ground for flour. young leaves can ground and used for a soup filler. has medicinal properties as well but i dont have a clue what they are. produces sugar that can be processed similar to maple sryup. i know it has been looked at as a bio fuel also
