Re: Weeds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jim Kilbert,
It sure sounds like purple loosestrife. It was growing in an area
where the high water table was one - two feet below the surface, that
was until my dad dug a pond and now it is every where he put the soil.
The area is at a slight grade and I am conserned if I apply Roundup too
much I will have no soil by the time l kill the thistle. Do you have any
ideas as to what I should do? I also was wondering if purple loosestife
and Canada Thistle are the same? Thanks for the hope you have been so
far.
Grow 'em big!
Josh,
