Composting invasive plants has to be done carefully to fully kill seeds and other potential propagules. Researchers in Texas built a composting facility to handle wetland invasive plants and report on their experience in an article in Invasive Plant Science and Management. Wouldn’t it be great to turn those invasive plants into compost to raise native seedlings?
A partnership of organizations in Texas has put together a citizen scientist program for reporting invasive species across the state. The web site has online training tools and a handbook as well as a section on information for individual species, including many invasive plant species. The informational pages include native-look alikes and control techniques. http://www.texasinvasives.org/i101/
