[APWG] Natural herbicides = Pro-Biotics

[Craig Dremann - Redwood City Seed Company]

Dear Wayne and All,

What I am suggesting about the natural plant-produced allelochemicals for
use as natural herbicides, is that these chemicals are already in the
environment, and you are just enhancing their effects to be more selective
for the exotics you are trying to control.

The natural herbicides are surprisingly effective, and save a tremendous
amount of effort in controlling the exotic plants, by knocking them back
enough that the natives have the ability to gain some ground.

What is the best routine, is to find the local native plants that produce
the strong natural herbicides, then you are just adding some extra
pro-biotics to weaken the exotics and favor the local natives.

Sincerely,  Craig Dremann (650) 325-7333
