I did not read the article as I have a tendency to not read anything that sounds really stupid like people claiming to be “trapped in their homes by tumbleweeds”.
All one would need is a flat nosed shovel, or the like to render the weeds harmless little piles of weed rubble. We often have them blowing over the property throughout the year.
Whack ‘em, and fear not.
tumbleweed= “russian thistle” .
it’s commie weed.
and these people sound like a bunch of pajama boys.
