This article also discusses making home-made weed killer from vinegar and soap, but be careful when applying it... Don't apply to flowering plants, and apply at night after the bees have gone home.

#EcoFriendly and #EnvironmentallyFriendly #WeedKiller: Does It Exist?

By Stephanie Osmanski

Excerpt:
"Another eco-friendly alternative to weed killer is enlisting the help of animal friends. Good for the environment and entirely non-toxic, goats can scarf down any unwanted weeds from #kudzu, #OrientalBittersweet, and #ailanthus to #MultifloraRosa, #JapaneseHoneysuckle, and mile-a-minute.

"In fact, some companies — such as #Ecogoats and #GoatsEatWeeds — even rent out goats to homeowners that want eco-friendly help controlling their unwanted noxious weeds. Because a goat’s least favorite food is grass, a goat will eat everything else first before munching on your lawn."

Planned to place the sprinkler hose behind the logs along the fence & then spotted these on the other side … not optimal.
All berry bushes are alive & kicking, but lots of the blackberry branches froze in Nov. Only to cut back😥

It’s a weird little swampy bit, full of what many would call #InvasiveWeeds. Yet it’s beautiful in its way and full of #diversity. I spotted dock, fennel, wild lettuce, wild radish, plantain, clover, endemic Solander’s geranium, sow thistle, and lots more, which I chucked into #iNaturalist. Now we’ve got this new independent grocery store just 400m from home, I think I’ll be down this way a lot more, so I’ll keep an eye on the spot. #ballarat #BallaratEast #SpecimenVale #wetlands #nativeplants

This 1985 map showing the recorded distribution of pampas grasses in New Zealand's exotic forests and the degree of infestation compared with the #iNaturalist distribution today is sad and bloody terrifying.

"As yet, no records of pampas in forests south of Nelson."
