When I wrote the original query I wanted also to ask how the "purple
loose strife" ever got here in the first place? How many states are
reporting this problem? Right here as of 9/5 we have quite a few....my
observation was while travelling the expressway "corridor" at the south
end of Lake Michigan between the state of Michigan and the state of
Wisconsin. And what would happen if we strove to eradicate it here but
introduced it to the Alaskan tundra where there is so much standing
water in the summer? Would it help to firm up the soil-base?
Or is it a bad idea...
