Them's fightin wordsHops. The noxious weed is infecting too many craft beers, rendering them undrinkable.
White oak. I’m so sick of these leaves everywhere
Them's fightin words
Don't like hops in your beer? You may not like beer. Perhaps I could interest you in a gruit.Apparently so. I got my first cranky face!
But you got 3 "likes" from discerning ale drinkers.Apparently so. I got my first cranky face!
Actually I'm OK with hops in beer when it doesn't taste like the main, or only, ingredient. Gruit sounds interesting though.Don't like hops in your beer? You may not like beer. Perhaps I could interest you in a gruit.
I thought barley, hops, and water are THE ingredients in beer. So I think there's gotta' be hops. What I don't care for are the double hop and triple hop ales. I'm all about balance. Well that and I prefer dark beer like amber or Scotch ale.Actually I'm OK with hops in beer when it doesn't taste like the main, or only, ingredient. Gruit sounds interesting though.

I love how a worst tree/plant thread turned into a beer thread!I do find this thread interesting. Even as a non beer drinker. But mainly before all the beer talk.
When all the rest of the world is dead there will still be horsetails. The world and my yards most stubborn resident. Nothing kills them.
A neighbor with a laurel that does not maintain it…is major suckage. I prune the invasiveness over our fence regularly and not great for the compost either.Himalayan blackberries,
Scotch broom,
Laurels &
Bamboo!
Do you deal with the yellow star thistle? That stuff made working in the wilds of columbia county miserable. As others have said, working in areas of (and cycling around) puncture vine is not fun either.I like this thread, as I kill invasive plants for the feds for a living. There's so many around here, but the bane of my my existence is Kochia, Russian Thistle, and Mare's Tail. They're pesticide resistant, and I have thousands of acres I have to try to manage them.
Paulonia-tree of heaven can get gigantic, limbs die off break and fall in storms and might even be worse than sumac for popping up everywhere but they do have those beautiful purple bloomsPoison ivy (poison oak around here). There are many primo spots on the lower Deschutes I leave unfished because I don't want to mess with the poison oak. I developed a hatred of poison ivy doing USGS field work in the Southeast, and living there. The stuff is EVERYWHERE. Birds eat the berries, so it always appears in your yard. The wet side of the PNW is a paradise, I've only seen poison oak in a couple places in the cascades. I had a live and let live attitude with many noxious plants and critters around stream gages, but poison ivy, yellowjackets, and fire ants were terminated by any chemical means necessary, and with extreme prejudice. Everything else I left alone.
The "plant hatred" I developed living here is the tree of heaven. I can't believe how many people just let them grow in their yard.
Our neighbor just planted a row of them across the alley from us.A neighbor with a laurel that does not maintain it…is major suckage. I prune the invasiveness over our fence regularly and not great for the compost either.
