Comments (2)I don't know if salt would do the trick or not. I did a goole on phragamite control and found many sites. One in particular seemed to be most informative for me and I have included the link below. It does appear that there are two chemicals mentioned in many sites that have been approved for use in and near waterways. I don't know if either of them would be appropriate for you. I have had problems with invasive plants too and have basically just dug them up over and over and over until they are at least very sparse. It is almost impossible to totally eradicate them. Hopefully others will have some good information for you. Good Luck.

Comments (6)There is this thing called a lawnmower. You probably already have one. It's job is to cut things down close to the ground. Since it is so effective at killing plants that can't handle continous cutting, it doesn't really seem to be recognized as one of the best machines ever invented for controlling unwanted plants. It will get rid of the loosestrife. It will also significantly control the mint, though it is much better at growing under the cutting blades. Any plant that either cannot handle continuous cutting, or cannot grow close to the ground can easily be controlled with the mower. This covers almost all of the truly bad plants. Compared to poison ivy, rosa multiflora, bush honeysuckle and phragmites, dandelions are not a concern....See Moreinvasive vine, how to remove?
Comments (1)There are at least two plants in the photo but one is obviously English ivy, Hedera helix. It is an invasive plant in a number of areas (especially here in my area of the PNW). It is difficult to remove from surfaces, as it attaches itself with very persistent little rootlets and it does provide a habituate for unwanted wildlife as well as holding moisture against the underlying surfaces. Because ivy has such a glossy, waxy surface to the foliage, most herbicides cannot penetrate to do their damage. Manual removal is the most effective control but you must get all the roots as well......small portions of root left in the ground can sprout new growth very easily.
