[MAIPC] weed whacker plastic

[michelskm2016]

Thr stilt grass will bloom ans seed anyway no matter how low or often you cut it. Unless you pull it. We gave up on cutting - thr only solution is to  pull it- or if you really want  to whack those old fashioned metal corrugated hand whacker are efdeceive and oh so satisfying  as you swing it like a scythre  through the nasties.

Yes, I guess I should have mentioned that I realized that plastic was being spread all over.  But I wonder if you have discussed the ramifications of this.  I have land that I am trying to restore, and I live in a floodplain.  What are the ramifications for soil and water?

                As I spend yet another afternoon whacking stiltgrass here in Rockbridge County, Virginia, I wonder about where all the plastic from my line is going.  Is this a topic that y'all have discussed?  
Thank you!
