Re: petasites

Hi Sheri,

Good luck moving the petasites. It's definitely a thug here in Cincinnati,
especially in moist soil -- spreads voraciously. And very difficult to
eradicate. We've been fighting a couple of patches at a client's for two
years, and the score is Petasites 2, Humans 0. We haven't tried Roundup,
we've been digging, but it's tough to trace the rhizomes in our heavy clay
soil.
