Looking for help on how to effectively control or eradicate Giant Reed
(Phragmites communis) from my wetland wildlife area. There is only a small
patch right now but I don't want it to overtake the other plants that are
more beneficial. A neighboring property has a very large stand of Giant Reed
about 5 years after introduction. Chemical controls are not compatible with
wetlands and burning may be dangerous with all the dry plant material
around. Any help is appreciated. Thanx.
