[MAIPC] Garlic mustard disposal

Fri Apr 16 06:40:52 PDT 2021

Depending on how much time you have yet prior to your volunteer event, another angle for less disposal is to add the promotional angle of using the plants in recipes (pesto, etc.) even to the extent of having cooking demonstrations :*)

Just a thought!  I’ve had volunteers in the past take home a bag or two to do that:*)

This certainly has been a very interesting discussion thread!!

Good luck!

> Hello everyone,
> Does anyone have experience pulling garlic mustard and piling it on site? I am having a large volunteer event to pull it, and am limited in how much we can cart out. I'm hoping if we pile it up it will decompose and not reroot or spread. Has anyone had a positive or negative experience if not bagging and removing?
