Buttercup, bind weed, blackberries,and bamboo! My nemesis 🙀so thanks❣️❣️💐
Yes indeed. What area of the country is your garden? Sounds like somewhere on the West Coast. I do have another video for Blackberry removal. Thanks so much for watching. I hope you subscribe 😊.
I hope it worked to pull it out this way. Be cautious with this plant, it not only causes the same skin reaction as poison oak on some people's skin including mine, but also breaking the plant causes some people to have asthma attacks, and I am one of them. I bought an herbicide for the first time in my life when three layers of gloves, a mask, and goggles were not enough to pull this plant without reacting. However, it is not a fully evil plant - it repels certain nematodes in the soil due to it's toxicity which is why I allow small patches to grow in certain areas.
I’ve been pulling it this way for 13 years and never had an issue with my skin or asthma. You must be very sensitive to it. I like to wear 7 mil nitrile gloves when pulling it.
Living on 5 acres in the wet Pacific Northwest, we have tons of it so no fear that I will remove it all. I just remove it from places I don’t want it. Still tons in our lawn 😁
@@thehappyplacegarden 7 mil nitrile gloves sound like a good idea; I literally have an instantaneous reaction that's more like the reaction to giant hogweed than poison oak seconds after touching this plant. It is so pervasive that I cannot walk barefoot anywhere in my county in California or even touch my shoes. Awful stuff, I am going to eradicate it from my yard.
@@thehappyplacegarden I live in Humboldt and I am not sure where you live but I recently watched my favorite New Zealand UA-camr foraging for Puha and he was resting his Puha leaves on the ranunculus repens next to it as he collected it. I grow several varieties of Puha in pots for the reason that made me cringe watching his video. It loves to grow in patches of the world's most noxious weeds. I would not even harvest a leaf growing in a patch of the stuff because the toxin can get in through the roots, I was horrified by this video. Since I posted this comment yesterday we have tried to remove it again to no avail, I cannot go near even ten feet away while someone is digging it without my eyes burning and skin turning red, it releases something like an essential oil that is toxic into the air. It is raining and hailing so I cannot try the spray today but the very friendly lady at the Farm supply store must have had the same issue as you. The minute I said I normally grew organic but had this awful plant I was willing to use an herbicide on even though I'd spoke out against herbicides on UA-cam she just talked a mile a minute about how hard it was to kill the stuff. Do you want a grass lawn with no weeds? Try a variety of teff grass that grows short, you can get ones that only grow a few inches tall and never mow your yard again.
You could plant another plant that overtakes it too
