Diego Bonetto // Edible Weeds, Foraging, The Weedy One, Cape Weed, Dandelion, Mulberry, Mushrooming

We snuck a bonus episode into season 3 - and what a cracker it is. We're chatting to Diego Bonetto, aka The Weedy One. Born in Italy, Diego grew up foraging for dandelion, wild asparagus and mushrooms. It wasn't actually foraging as such, it was just how you lived.

Since moving to Australia, Diego has taken foraging and edible weeds on as his career, educating and showing people how we're surrounded by abundant food and medicine, much of it growing on in our backyards, or the cracks of the pavement.

Diego lives and forages on the lands of the Eora, Dharug, Wiradjuri and Gandangara people. Check out his amazing range of workshops - treat yourself or a friend (or both go!)

Before we get to Diego, we're drinking a Dandelion Margarita and talking about nettle, Phoenix Creations, fermented garlic, Birchs Bay Art Farm, Mewstone and making your own Christmas wreaths.
