Hi Pete and All

When purple loosestrife became a worry back in the 80's I regularly  
pulled any plants I found around our pond.  I haven't done that for  
years and see very few plants now.  I can't believe that one person's  
actions could be so successful in spite of the fact that my bees are  
next to the pond.  Possibly, as with Pete's Knotweed, it  spreads   
mostly by runners.  Coltsfoot, however, spreads in the bush around  
the pond in spite of my attempts to control it with non-chemical  
methods.  My bees definitely visit these plants.
