Would they like to come to my yard?
I’m fighting garlic mustard and stilt grass. If you get rid of everything for five years running or so, you’ll mostly exhaust the seed bank. Unfortunately, something comes up every few years and I lose ground.
The stilt grass is worse because it roots at every node and spreads much better and less conspicuously than garlic mustard.
We don’t see buckthorn here, but I’d like to put Norway maple on the list. There’s a vicious Norway maple-deer synergy taking over the woods and my only consolation is that once the browse line is higher than five feet and the understory is nothing but stilt grass and garlic mustard, the cervid rats will all starve.
Wow! You certainly know your plants! :)
