Just wrote my recipe up and put it on the guardian blog.

Yep, nows the time for both. Autumn is a great time for roots the other good time is in the spring.

That sounds too good to be true! Where does someone get the Burdock root from or what does it look like on top!

you can dig up Burdock root from the wild although technically you need the land owners permission. I too always plant some see after digging up any root. Burdock looks like the picture below but it is the first year plant that you need to dig up, so if you find a plant that looks like the one below look around for basal growth of the same plant.
