Ditto on chamberbitter.
Some people insist that you can make a drinkable tea out of this weed, other people talk about feeding it to their rabbits.

Unless you have a use for this plant, you would do best by declaring all out war on this incredibly prolific pest.

I've read that from dropped seed to flowering plant can take as little as 2 weeks.... Which means that missing a plant for a month can mean thousands of additional ones.

While they don't get tall, the extreme proliferation of chamberbitter makes it a very difficult plant to eradicate.

I collect in a bucket and add to the grill.
You'll want to take precaution against dropped seed when removing this plant, and totally avoid accidentally adding it to the compost.

There isn't many plants that I advise adding to the trash, but this is definitely one of them....
