Thanks to Mark and Pamela Hanson, our guest speakers, who joined us to talk about different topics that we're going to put together over next Fall, related to all things gardening. Stay tuned...
I forgot to mention something that we'll need to do during in the month of May after our cleanup April 9th & 10th which is to pull then drop any garlic mustard weeds we might see. If you're interested in why we want to get rid of this, see this link: http://www.invasive.org/weedcd/pdfs/wow/garlic_mustard.pdf
Pretty nasty stuff!
Let's all be on the lookout around the perimeter of the Garden for this weed and "pull it then drop it" so it doesn't go to seed.
Thanks all!
Here is a reply from Delia K. about how to get rid of this invasive:
ReplyDelete"If it’s pulled well before seeds set it can be composted onsite. Seeds will continue to develop once pulled so if seeds are maturing it should be brought to the invasives bin at the Recycling site (former landfill)."
