Market Farming

Hi All,

I have got borage growing rampant around the house gardens. Planted by 
previous owner. Does it have any value? I know about crystallising the 
flowers and putting them on deserts. Don't have a sweet tooth and it 
wouldn't be a major use anyway. Is it of any use in compost? Is it a sign 
of poor soil? Does its root system improve the soil structure? The soil is 
chock full of worms and the structure seems fine to me. Heavy winter/spring 
rainfall area (62 inches). Should I just dig it out and plant something 
more useful? Any comments gratefully appreciated. Eight days into official 
summer and it's snowing outside. Which is why I am inside sending this email.

Regards,
Ron...
