People who say this have never battled goat head burr, burr clover or bristly ox tongue. Invasive as shit, crowd out threatened species and necessary natives for plant-specific pollinators, poke through your shoes and bike tires and generally run your day.
Ok…? I really don’t get this “I love all plants equally, peace on earth, bro” messaging that pops up any time someone mentions a highly invasive plant.
Some plants, in the wrong spaces, are highly damaging to wildlife on many levels. It’s not just about wanting a monocultured lawn and having been tricked by Monsanto propaganda.
I think you got me wrong. What made you think I like invasive plants? I’m aware they’re an ecological disaster. The term weed just pisses me off. People spray chemicals on their lawns to kill off native plants because they’re “weeds”. Fuck grass and fuck invasive plants (like grass). I can think of quite a few plants I hate and would like eraticated from North America actually.
