I’d be so annoyed to main the class with the absolute worst DPS in the game and get a nerf.

Also Tree of Heaven is the host plant for Spotted LanternFlies, which are also invasive. Please stomp when you can.

Scotch broom wakes up every day, and chooses violence. 

I believe Scotch broom also has an oil in it that makes it burn very intensely, just to be even more annoying.

I’ve worked with this group in NJ  to remove invasive plants from county parks. The web site has a list of invasive species and tips on controlling them. https://www.fohvos.info/invasive-species-strike-team/info-center/

Garlic mustard definitely has a garlic taste. I pick the leaves when they are young and make a delicious pesto from them.

You can girdle the trunk mechanically or with herbicide to kill the tree or you can cut it down and dab a small amount of glyphosate on the freshly-cut stump to kill it. If you just cut the tree down it will send up suckers all over the place. I am a licensed pesticide operator.

Not botanists. 

As if you needed another reason to destroy them, they are also hosts to invasive insects like the brown marmorated stink bug and the spotted lanternfly, which are destructive to native plants and agriculture across the northeastern US. To reiterate: DIG IT OUT.

It’s as if these were designed to be a plague. Unaware, I bought a house with four, huge mature examples in the back yard. First they drop a month-long, constant snow of tiny little green flowers that track everywhere and smell terrible, while I spend every weekend pulling up suckers from my yard, landscaping, under

Wait, so Garlic Mustard tastes like neither garlic, nor mustard, but horseradish?  Who names these things?!?

I had 2 of them popping up last year. I realized it was the same plant as a large tree my neighbor had about 3 feet in on his side of the fence.

When you pull these plants out of the ground, it is helpful to have a spray bottle with vinegar in it to suppress regeneration. A quick squirt or two may prevent whatever root is left in the ground from starting over. Doesn’t work every last time, but it beats going back to the same place to weed again in 3 weeks.

The tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) propagates by suckers, which means new trees will grow up from the roots of an existing tree. If you see one, DIG IT OUT and get as much of the roots as you can. I’ve seen people let these go for years and now they’re stuck with a really dense hedge of smelly little trees which

I currently have a Tree of Heaven starting to grow in my backyard. I never knew what it was before and HATE it! I usually pull it out as soon as I see a tiny bit of it, but have left it because it’s hiding the fact that I need to replace my fence.
Going out now to dig it up. 

My friend just spent a year watching One Piece to get caught up. I looked at him like he was bonkers when he said “Oh it gets better after the first 100 episodes” and I’m like DO YOU HEAR YOURSELF?!

You can take it slowly when starting One Piece, my suggestion is read 5-10 chapters per day and once you get to chapter 100 see how invested you are. If you aren’t hooked then stop, but if you are enamored then keep going. You will not be disappointed.

I’m happy Demon Slayer is done and I don’t have to worry about this becoming a lifetime commitment.

Slayer’s manga is comparatively shorter to other shonen works like My Hero Academia, ending in May 2020 at 205 chapters.
