A USEFUL LINK FROM CIPWG THE CT INVASIVE PLANTS WORKING GROUP

When fighting invasive species, this is the time of year when you want to throw up your hands and give up!  The roadsides are so full of invasive plants.  They are choking off the landscape just about everywhere you look.  You might feel helpless and incapable of the task at hand.  I offer fresh hope!  This morning I came across a post with this link containing various instructions on how best to eliminate the top 10 invasive plants from CIPWIG Invasive Plant Management Calendar . It made me remember that mid to late summer is the appropriate time to get out there and fight especially if you are willing to use herbicides either as a foliar spray, cut and paint or inject.  The best time to use herbicides is when a plant is actively growing and returning nutrients to its roots.
