Invasive
Plants
As
a new growing season begins, so does the problem of
dealing with various invasive species.
What are invasives?
See the NH Department of Agriculture lists of
prohibited invasive species at:
https://www.agriculture.nh.gov/publications-forms/documents/prohibited-invasive-species.pdf
How do you deal
with invasive plants?
It is important to remember that
it is illegal in NH to "collect, transport, sell,
distribute, propagate, or transplant any living or
viable potion of any listed prohibited invasive plant
species..."
So, cutting invasives and taking them to
the dump or putting them in a compost pile are not good
ideas.
Suggested methods can be found at

Japanese knotweed is one
of the most difficult invasives to remove.
