Weed Information
Watch out for weed infested fill dirt and landscaping material! Always look at the large piles at a site. If there are weeds growing in their soil piles, it is a bad place to purchase your garden soil! Also, look at the surrounding landscape or area and check for noxious weeds. If you see them around the property, they are likely in the landscaping materials. Remember: You don't have to see a large plant in the mulch for it to be infested. Seeds are trouble too! At left, a soil pile in the mountains infested with leafy spurge and cheatgrass waits for a home! Management information for leafy spurge.

Did you know that non-native species in the U.S. cost $137 billion in economic losses? And $35.5 billion of this is directly related to invasive weeds. In addition, more than 40 percent of species on the federal endangered or threatened species list are at risk primarily because of non-indigenous species. See the Cornell University article (BioScience-January, 2000/Vol 50 No 1)for more information.
