PaperMaking from Plants:
Prostrate SpurgePaper

Another prevalent and ignored weed, prostrate or spotted spurge called to find a use beyond tugging out. I cooked it in my large stainless steel pot for a little more than an hour in washing soda.

I blendered it, and it turned to bright yellow-green foamy pulp that dried to a marginal green paper.
