Can we also use the leaves too or are the flowers what I am after?

Thanks :)

Leaves and roots can be used. If I'm not mistaken, the leaves are where most of the nutrients/minerals accumulate. You can soak/bubble them for 24 hours like I did, or better yet you can ferment them by submersing them in water for a week or two, and then use the extract. This extract can be stored for pretty long periods and is quite concentrated, so it would need to be diluted 10:1 or more.

Can you dry out the leaves and flowers and mix them straight into your soil, and get the same effect? Or is soaking in water the best way to go?

Thanks man...is there any advantages or disadvantages to doing it one way or the other? I have some chamomile and dandelions drying right now.

Not that I'm aware of bud. It would be analogous to using cold pressed liquid kelp, or kelp meal. Both beneficial, and both will keep for long periods.

I made some meals out of dynamic accumulators last summer. It's pretty humid in Michigan in the summer, so I had to bust out the food dehydrator to speed things up a bit, but if it's not too humid where you're at you could just leave them out in the sun.
