1 Weeds & Wildlings MG Training 2013 By Pat Patterson OSU MG OSU Extension Lane County 783 Grant St. Eugene, OR
2 Nature knows no plants as weeds.- Liberty Hyde Bailey
3 What is a weed? A plant whose virtues have not yet been discovered
4 Weeds? Theirs is a long and complicated story, a story just now beginning to be unraveled but about which we already know enough to state, without fear of successful contradiction, that the history of weeds is the history of man. Edgar Anderson, Plants, Man & Life
5 What Is a Weed? A human construct. A plant growing where it is not wanted. A petunia in an onion patch might be a weed or part of an integrated garden. A plant that interferes with management objectives for a given area of land at a given period of time. J.M. Torell
6 Is This a Weed?
7 It gives one a sudden start in going down a barren, stony street, to see upon a narrow strip of grass, just within the iron fence, the radiant dandelion, shining in the grass, like a spark dropped from the sun. Henry Ward Beecher
8 Dandelions One of the top 10 medicinal plants Grown commercially for greens Excellent early beneficial insect habitat Nutritious source of food: petals, greens and roots Very beautiful, especially in the early spring
9 Why Do We Object to Weeds? Competition for desired plants Allelopathic May harbor diseases or pests Dangerous to humans or other animals Invasive may crowd out desirable natives and damage habitat Aesthetically disagreeable The US spends over 5 billion/yr on weed control.
10 What Are Weed Benefits? Help you read the soil Mine nutrients and water for the garden Genetic resource Food source Research into resistance to disease and insects Erosion control Medicinals & pesticides Habitat for beneficials Arts & crafts Fix nitrogen Aesthetics (many are beautiful)
11 Slightly Acid English Daisy Sheep Sorrel Horsetail
12 Batchelor Buttons Very Acid
13 Compacted Broadleaf plantain Wild mustard
14 Fat Weeds These weeds are indicators of good soil: Chickweed, lambsquarters (goosefoot), stinging nettle, purslane, shepherds-purse, yellow and curly dock, wild mustard, amaranth (pigweed), common mallow (cheeses), red (purple) dead nettle, bittercress, heal-all, dandelion, speedwell and even willow weed.
15 Mine Nutrients and Water for the Garden Many weeds are deep divers and pull up nutrients and water from below the cultivated crop s reach. These can then be harvested and used as mulch or in compost. Champions are stinging nettle, burdock, dandelion, dock and horsetail
16 Deep Divers Stinging nettle
17 Genetic Resource Our modern crops were developed from wild plants. The genes in the wild plants are an incredible resource when breeding for new traits and also to develop new crops. It can also hold the key to increased nutritional quality in our tame plants. Cultivated dandelions, quinoa, grain amaranth and Miner s Lettuce are such crops.
18 Miner s Lettuce
19 Food Source Wild plants are a very nutritious food source for animals, insects and humans. Humans ate over 176 common greens in the 16 th century as compared with the scanty diet we now consume. Most edible weeds are more nutritious than their tame counterparts. Learn to eat your good weeds.
20 Research Into Resistance to Disease and Insects Wild plants often hold the genetic key to increased pest and disease resistance which can be used to improve our cultivated plants. This then reduces the amount of managing we need to do.
21 Hold the Soil Creeping Buttercup kills clover
22 Medicines & Pesticides Some of the top herbal remedies are from wild plants, not cultivated plants. New medicinal compounds are being discovered every day, not just in the tropics but in our temperate plants as well. Many weeds have compounds that are being tested as insecticides, fungicides and herbicides.
23 Medicinals Foxglove Dandelion
24 Habitat for Beneficials The carrot, daisy and mustard family weeds are among the most used as food sources and shelters for beneficial insects, like the various wasps. All have small, open flowers which are good for the tiny wasps. Chickweed and bittercress are other great habitat plants. These flower very early when food sources are scarce.
25 Beneficial Habitat Spotted Cats-Ear Wild Mustard Yarrow
26 Arts & Crafts Dried arrangements, wreaths, daisy chains are all uses for common weeds. Some are even sold by craft stores, often spray painted! E.g. Teasel Handmade paper is decorated by them as are cards and stationery. And just look at all the clothes etc. decorated with their pictures!
27 Nitrogen fixer-vetch
28 Aesthetics (many are beautiful) I hope you will soon see the beauty of form, texture and flower of the lowly plants we class as weeds. Few flowers are more lovely than English Daisy, more sculptural than Teasel. They are an important part of our ecosystems and are more often wildlings than weeds. There are some true weeds in the bad sense of the word & those we try to manage. None has no redeeming value.
29 Teasel
30 How Weeds Spread Most bad weeds are foreigners; hitchhikers with man and animals In soil on roots, ballast, equipment and feet Wind (the parachuting seeds) Water, especially irrigation and floods. With other seeds as a contaminant Unwise introductions, i.e. Gorse, Purple Loosestrife, English Ivy
31 Wildly Successful Weeds Adaptability to fill any niche Seed numbers Seed viability and delayed dormancy Varied means of reproduction Vigor for rapid development Growth patterns
32 Weeds as a Problem Some plants, not all wild, create massive environmental, economic or even health issues. As such they are weeds to combat. Bruce Newhouse s presentation gave you a good introduction to this type of problem.
33 Loss of Native habitat in the Willamette Valley 1851 Lilac = Prairie Lt. purple = Oak Tan = Agriculture White = Urban
34 Japanese Knotweed
35 Giant Knotweed
36 Bohemian Knotweed This hybrid is the most common escaped knotweed in Lane County!
37 Purple Loosestrife
38 Knapweeds Yellow starthistle ) Meadow knapweed Diffuse knapweed
39 And their close relatives, often sold and planted Cornflower Bachelor Buttons Big headed yellow cornflower
40 Scotch Broom, Portuguese Broom, Gorse Portuguese Broom Scotch Broom Gorse
41 Well established weeds- difficult to eradicate, especially without Blackberry Yellow flag iris St.Johnswort English Ivy herbicides
42 Stinky Bob Shining Geranium
43 Species escaping from our gardens Being found in parks and forests Often from dumped garden waste Sometimes introduced through commercial compost In the early stages of control, we could stop these
44 Aka: policeman s helmet Indian balsam touch-me-not Himalayan Balsam
45 Butterfly bush
46 English Ivy
47 Periwinkle Vinca major & V. minor Vinca major Vinca minor in a vine, with small leaves. Vinca minor Vinca major is a little more woody, with larger leaves
48 Lesser Celandine Sometimes confused with Marsh Marigold, but blooms early spring.
49 Kerria japonica Typically spread from dumped trimmings Make dense thickets Not eaten by any wildlife
50 Milk thistle Large white-veined leaves Spiny purple flowers Used medicinally Spreads by seeds, so if you grow it do not let it go to seed. Pick the flowers!
51 Roots medicinally used and edible Spreads by seed. Don t let it go to seed Not much around here, but huge patches in the Columbia River Gorge. Elecampane
52 Pokeweed Native to the Eastern U.S. Poisonous berries, roots and leaves Young shoots edible Used medicinally Spreads by seeds, birds love it Seeds survive composting
53 Verbena bonariensis
54 Bad weeds to be on the look out for. Portuguese broom Paterson s curse Giant Hogweed False brome Star thistle Lesser Celandine
55 Grows up to 12 feet tall Pale yellow flowers Stems with 8 to 10 ridges Small compound leaves with 3 leaflets White, hairy seed pods Portuguese Broom
56 Paterson s Curse Grows up to 3 feet tall Leaves larger at bottom of plant Leaves and stems densely covered in stiff hairs Purple, funnelshaped flowers
57 Giant Hogweed Up to 15 feet tall Stems with dark purple spots and bristles Giant Hogweed Compound leaves up to 5 feet wide Small white flowers clustered in an umbrella shaped head
58 False Brome Grows in bunches Hairy leaf edges and lower stems Drooping leaves and seed heads BRIGHT APPLE GREEN COLOR
59 What can You do? Learn to identify invasive species, eradicate them when you find them, and avoid planting them. Dispose of weeds and invasive plants properly, don t dump them in the woods or over the fence. Educate your friends and neighbors about these weeds. Clean your car, boots and tools after driving, walking or working in an infested area. Choose native plants or plants known NOT to be invasive Don t plant wildflower mixes without knowing everything that is in them, many contain weeds or invasives. Report plants on the ODA list to INVADER or
60 Think LOCALLY! Learn your local native plant species, and their habitats: protect them, adore their beauty, diversity and uniqueness! Use them. Collect seed or cuttings locally (with permission); buy from local nurseries who propagate responsibly from local stock. Follow the native gardening guidelines at NPSOregon.org. Learn the wildland invasive species; recognize they are beautiful and unique in their local, native lands. Avoid using them -- and help eradicate escapees.
61 Klamathweed (aka St. Johnswort)- blooms early before Tansy Ragwort TansyRagwort
62 Foxglove-white or purple Poison Oak
63 Death Camas- Flowers totally different from edible camas Jimsonweed- strong scent. Found here occasionally
64 Poison Hemlock-Conium maculatum Water Hemlock-Circuta douglasii
65 Bittersweet Nightshade- Solanum dulcamara A perennial vine
66 Weed Management Prevention! Biological Cultural Mechanical Herbicide (last choice and often avoidable) Natural Synthetic
67 Prevention Keeping weeds out is better than weeding out. To watch out for: Bringing in soil, new potted plants, not cleaning tools between areas Buying in invasive plants Carrying in seeds on your clothes or pets Avoid careless landscapers
68 Cultural Once prevention has failed, the major weapons for a gardener are cultural & mechanical Try living mulch, regular mulches. Create a dynamic soil suited to the chosen plants-ph & nutrients Water and fertilize only the chosen plants.
69 Mechanical Hoe, hoe, hoe works but is a lot of work Use a scuffle type hoe for young weeds Concentrated weeding while desired plants are young. Flaming Heavy mulching Landscape cloth

131 Alliaceae Usually with bulbs or rhizomes. Simple basal leaves. Flowers showy with 6 petallike parts (3 petals & 3 sepals) Wild garlic and wild onion Still in Liliaceae are camas, death camas and others classes as lilies.
132
133 A Lesson from the Weeds Never give up. 600 year old mustard seeds still had some germination for field bindweed and lambsquarters. Think outside the box. Be open to many different techniques. Adapt to where you are. If you have lemons, make lemonade.
134 And Always Remember NATURE BATS LAST! Aside from the officially noxious invaders, most weeds are actually a part of the integrated ecosystem of foods, habitat and diversity.
