  • Nature has no problem with invasives, it are some humans like you guys. It is your view on what nature should or should not do. A human view. It is oke. I like invasive plants a lot. They have made the natue all over the world much more diverse and give way to fantastic communities. But you treat them like xenophobes do with newcomers of the human kind and point to how bad and threatening they are. Well: no scientific support for what you assume here. There is no netloss there is a net gain.

  • If you pull up an invasive plant its killing a life that may have been spread by an extra-natural means. Wouldn't one want to re-pot it in some kind of milk jug and leave it somewhere away from deep masses of fertile dirt. Kinda like immigration services in foreign affairs. Just an out there idea.

  • Instead of just "pulling" you might as well Pull and Eat! Most the plants that was shown are edible. Garlic Mustard taste so Good! Learn your edible wild and medicinal plants and put them to use when you can!

  • Im not at all conviced by this emotional lanuguage, which shows just a poor understanding of how natural systems work. This is biological racism.

  • We also have a problem with Japanese Knotweed up here too...

  • I have garlic mustard up at my Connecticut home. I eat the seeds...

  • First invasive people that got rid of aboriginals and then plants... that's funny

  • And like the Europeans of old, the invasives may also harbor viruses that contribute to their spread

  • Invasive plants are a problem all over North America.  Well done video, keep up the good work.
