Yes indeedy: I went ditch diving 2 weeks ago when I spotted some in a ditch
by the airport. Took my hubby with me (to look like we had car problems)
while I hopped the guardrail, slid down the embankment, and grabbed a couple
of handfulls in a trash bag! I kept hoping no one would call us in for a)
possible terrorism; or b) harvesting illegal plants (and you can't even
*smoke* 'em G!!!). I cleaned them up with PP and will rotate them in the
pond: the koi eat them like candy!! Now, if I can just find some water
lettuce . . .

plant.


FWIW
Florida spends approx. $10 million+ a yr to destroy it
to keep the waterways clear.

other invasive water plants are choking out natives
across the country and causing dead lakes/ponds.
