This article also discusses making home-made weed killer from vinegar and soap, but be careful when applying it... Don't apply to flowering plants, and apply at night after the bees have gone home.
#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."

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.

Spotted lanternfly nymph on the stem of an Ailanthus tree. Link is to a map of the current distribution in the United States. Not yet reported in Canada but likely just a matter of time. #hemiptera #insects #entomology #invasive #pest #ailanthus #SpottedLanternfly https://lookerstudio.google.com/reporting/b0bae43d-c65f-4f88-bc9a-323f3189cd35/page/QUCkC

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/

Im Frühjahr hat hier jemand die ganzen #Ailanthus Sprösslinge und Bäumchen runtergeschnitten und damit, vermutlich gänzlich naiv, richtig viel Raum für die Bengaltiger unter den heimischen Büschen geschaffen: Brombeerranken. Die haben die Chance genutzt und diese Seite der Straße ist jetzt effektiv unbegehbar. Als nächstes nehmen sie sich die Autos vor.

#January 28, 1694
#OTD Peter Collinson, English #Botanist from Peckham & #Quaker merchant is born.He introduced 200 #Plants to England, including the #Ailanthus or #Tree of #Heaven, #Planted in rows near his grave.
John Bartram sent him new specimens from America. He also corresponded w/ Linnaeus & Benjamin Franklin.
Peter once wrote a line that is inscribed on #Sundial-s,
"Forget not me & my #Garden."
Peter's final words were, "Few men have enjoyed life more - I cheerfully resign!"
