golden rod cordage?

<< < (2/2)

Pat B:
I'd wait until late summer, after it has bloomed but before frost.

madcrow:
It will make cordage.  You will probably have better luck retting it, instead of the usual dry and breaking apart.  Leave a few arrow shaft sized stalks and cut them after a couple of frosts.  Fairly easy to straighten and very light.
