Controlling Invasive Plants
If your yard is under attack from invasive plants such as the porcelainberry, English ivy, or garlic mustard, the North Carolina Botanical Garden at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill can help you with its publication Controlling Invasive Plants. The goal of this booklet is to educate North Carolina Piedmont residents “about the common invasive plant species of their gardens and yards, and those found in surrounding natural areas.” A further goal is to provide information on how to control invasive plants.
The booklet gives you guidelines for treatment, profiles (with photos) of invasive vines, trees and shrubs, and grasses and herbs, and other helpful tips. This booklet can be read, downloaded, and/or printed at http://digital.ncdcr.gov/u?/p249901coll22,285729.
