Someone suggested I use up all the dandelions in my backyard by weaving them into baskets so I went and found a good tutorial!

    Genuine question: will that rot away in a while or is there something in dandelion stems that makes them keep or is there some way to make them keep indefinitely?

      I think you dry them before you use them, so they’ll be just like any other basket! So probably not great to get it wet etc but it won’t rot. But also I suspect if you used the stems still fresh, they probably would just dry in the shape of the basket? My partner makes baskets out of other materials like tree bark and that just dries out.
