Re: burns: fire lanes

THis is a useful topic and I hope others chime in. I have wondered about
this myself. One plant that might work as a benign non-native might be
white dutch clover, Trifolium repens. I haven't seen it get invasive. It is
common in lawns up here in Wisconsin and greens up very early.
