Ramblings of a frustrated woman

Like kudzu

and pampas grass

as @KeeperAtTheHomestead said, nature has a way of balancing things, even if it isn't always the way WE think it should be balanced. I've noticed a tendency in the world today to be morbidly obsessed with keeping things the way we think they've always been, but think about it: If it weren't for things being "invasive" we would not have trees, or flowering plants of any kind, or pretty much any other kind of life on this planet.

I don't disagree with controlling a plant species. Some are "predators" and will wipe out their "prey." Nature has a way of balancing itself out. Similar to the animal kingdom. i disagree with giving the government the power to control what plants can and can't be sold by the people in the name of "protecting our plants." That power gives them control of us.

Before things were restricted anywhere lots of nasty invasives were spread. Like the cheatgrass that covers all of the high desert here and is the reason for wildfires. Sagebrush is resistant to sparks but the easily lit, hot burning cheatgrass burns it up. So the large sagebrush plants are getting rare and there are concerns it might die out. Then there will be huge issues with sandstorms as the sagebrush is the only thing that keeps them from being too bad by anchoring the soil.

Also, looking at countries like Iceland and their ridged restriction of import and export of animals and plants has this kept their environment what it should be and how has this impact helped the Farmers?
