Giving into the time constraint of preparing the garden
plots for planting this spring, I roto-tilled. More & more I am
regretting that decision as this process ignited the growth of quack grass &
Canadian thistle.......UGH! Other than digging them up & cooking them
on the asphalt before tossing into the compost, does anybody know of an
alternative organic method in which to eliminate them? I noticed in the
Q&A section of Organic Gardening Magazine (July/August 2000) eliminating
Canadian thistle was addressed by Cheryl Long. According to her, these
'botanical cockroaches" can have a root system that grows 19 feet
horizontally & 22 feet deep!
