How gardeners with invasive goutweed are supporting each other
The Goutweed Support Group on Facebook is proof that the invasive plant goutweed is affecting gardeners negatively — physically, mentally and financially. "The fact that there are more than a thousand people needing a goutweed support group should tell you something … this is just people at their wit's end." The Goutweed Support Group on Facebook bills itself as 'a place for us to deal with the trauma of goutweed.' Every year, MacDonald-Campbell battles the goutweed on her property by digging up and sifting out goutweed roots from the soil by hand. If you're looking forward to gardening on the property, goutweed can quickly dash those dreams, MacDonald-Campbell said.
