While Annalisa's idea is a generous one, spreading invasive plants can be a curse upon gardeners, but also the wild landscape around us. Best to put them in the green bin- the city's compost system will wipe them clean out. (Don't mean to lecture, but I'm geekily passionate about the spread of invasives). Good luck in your feudal war against them!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938196559124125578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-13635773257555390122010-11-15T07:47:57.769-08:002010-11-15T07:47:57.769-08:00Was that a birthday notice worked in there at the ...Was that a birthday notice worked in there at the end?? Hope you had a happy one, in spite of sucky conditions, if so.<br /><br />I'd try to get rid of them -- but not by putting intact bulbs in the compost pile. In my experience, unwelcome things thrive even better in the compost. There has to be a way to destroy them, I'm thinking. I'm feeling this way about the monkey grass someone planted long ago on this rental property where we live, and wishing that two years ago I'd undertaken a major eradication campaign. Of course, I didn't expect to still be here two years later...<br /><br />It's not because they're not lovely, you understand, but because certain exotic invasives are really destructive to the home garden endeavor.Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-2951935538097777572010-11-14T16:33:29.978-08:002010-11-14T16:33:29.978-08:00We have these growing around a willow tree in our ...We have these growing around a willow tree in our Oregon yard, but they have not spread at all, maybe because they're surrounded by lawn.
