Aloe explosion

I wanted to repot my huge aloe and give it some breathing room.there is a lot more in it than I thought.... Before picture, current explosion on the kitchen table. If you want some aloe plants contact me and you can have them. I successfully potted a nice spider plant and a phylladendron.

What do you do with Aloe? Do you just break the branches and use the juice as a moisturizer? Can it be used for cooking?

I wish they were all repotted! I ran out of potting soil and pots. So really, come and get some aloe!

I got so freakin' close to sand run falls this time, prolly within 500 yards. I lost the trail at the very end and lost patience.
