CKIPC - Local Weeds to Watch For
"The Creator"
Here is a comprehensive list of Invasive plants of our area... the best thing is to cut them down and bag them to prevent spread of the seeds... The sad thing is that the lot next to has has most of these species growing right there...and the thistle is the worst...growing in groves that are huge... way beyond bagging! I cut down what I thought was a huge amount, in the spring, but now when I look across to the neighbours yard on the other side of the empty lot, I see a field of fluff.
I hope to read up a little more on these invasive species and get rid of them around my yard for starters! My garden has had its share of thistles for sure!
The local group called Central Kootenay Invasive Plant committee is putting up signs indicating invasive plants. You may have seen them along the highways. I guess we all have to do our part.
