    #EcoFriendly and #EnvironmentallyFriendly #WeedKiller: Does It Exist?

    By Stephanie Osmanski
    Updated July 20 2020,

    Excerpt:
    "Another eco-friendly alternative to weed killer is enlisting the help of animal friends. Good for the environment and entirely non-toxic, goats can scarf down any unwanted weeds from #kudzu, #OrientalBittersweet, and #ailanthus to #MultifloraRosa, #JapaneseHoneysuckle, and mile-a-minute.

    "In fact, some companies — such as #Ecogoats and #GoatsEatWeeds — even rent out goats to homeowners that want eco-friendly help controlling their unwanted noxious weeds. Because a goat’s least favorite food is grass, a goat will eat everything else first before munching on your lawn."

  2. The #treeofheaven #Ailanthus #altissima is a #tree originally native to Asia. It arrived in #Europe as ornamental plant in the #18thcentury and increasingly #naturalized due to its high #adaptability to difficult #ecologicalconditions and its efficient #dispersal. #Globalwarming is further facilitating its current spread. J. Soler & J. Izquierdo (2024) highlight the modern situation of this #invasivespecies.

  7. It’s a wildcard week for #InsertAnInvert2024 so I’m bringing you a spotted lanternfly along with a second dangerous but beautiful invasive species: the tree of heaven. The Tree of Heaven (Ailanthus altimissa) is a deciduous tree native to northeast China and Taiwan, which was foolishly brought to Europe and North America in the 1700s where it as become known as a noxious weed and invasive plant. 🧵1/
