Does it deter cabbage worms, I wonder?

Sounds like a great suggestion. I'd kind of like to cultivate (encourage) lambsquarter in my garden since it's so nutritious.

Good to know it's good for more than just eating.

LOL good to know but don't let it go to seed it's a difficult weed to control.
This I know from experience..... What does it taste like?

Mabey im just lucky but I found purslane and lamb's quarters very easy to controll I neither tried to cultivate it nor eradicate it. I just pulled weak baby ones and kept big healthy ones.

I had 2 lambs quarters and mabey 3 purslane in my garden.
