Are Asian nations still using Japanese Stilt grass as packing material when they mail ceramics and other objects to other continents? If so, does this include diseased grass that would otherwise be composted? Marc

Thank you Lily Fountain, Tom Wachs, and myself for removing a lot of Japanese Stiltgrass. We also removed some Japanese honeysuckle, mock strawberry, English Ivy by the roots with the wet soil and one Mahonia.

Thank you Marc Imlay for removing 4 hours all the small isolated patches and specimens of Japanese Stiltgrass where we have removed in before. Including late emergents. Thank you so much Marc Simon for finishing the remaining large patch last Saturday! I checked and the seeds have not started to form yet; so we can survey for anymore stilgrass in other areas of the park that we may have missed next Saturday. As I removed the stiltgrass I came across a few juvenile garlic mustard plants, mock strawberry plants and Oriental bittersweet plants all of which I removed. Since the soil was wet. I also was able to pull out about one third of the English Ivy plants I came across as I removed the stiltgrass,

Thank you Marc and Marc for removing Japanese Stilt grass for 2 and ½ hours. Jack and I also removed 13 bush honeysuckles and three Japanese barberry to prevent Lyme disease from deer ticks. And 2 isolated wineberry and a patch of juvenile garlic mustard. And one large Leatherleaf Mahonia. I have found no more bush honeysuckle in the park. The final patch of 8 was the size that causes 10x increase in risk of Lyme disease. Lily recruited two excellent supporters she met.  Take a look at        http://www.mdinvasivesp.org/iotm/dec-2006/          and               http://mdinvasives.org/iotm/july-2010/
