Invasive plants, including invasive honeysuckles and Japanese knotweed, removed and smothered along a stream bank. (Swipe to see progression)
Following manual removal of these invasive plants, we heavily smothered these sloped areas with cardboard, jute mesh, and mulch.
This combination allows us to smother the areas where we removed the invasive plants, hold up and anchor the mulch and cardboard on the steep slopes, prevent erosion, and enrich the soil over time .
After a smothering and maintenance period, beneficial native plants can be installed.
