Thanks for sharing what you’ve experimented with! If you don’t mind me asking, what are your plans for the exterior? I’m guessing that the clay paint, milk paint, and limewash are more for interior use?

Thanks! I know this post is ancient, but it’s exactly what I’ve been wondering about for a while now. I’m happy to see people finding ways to work with bermuda grass instead of against it! (Because I’ve pretty much given up on working against it.) My raised bed is full of it, and I really haven’t wanted to solarize it and kill all the good micro-critters I’ve been building up for several years now.

Thanks, everyone! I’ll get this gal in the ground, then!

Thanks for the reply and the welcome, Anne. I’ve been lurking for a while. This is a wonderfully informative forum!

It might just be Common Milkweed that has that issue. Just wish I’d known to ask what variety it was!

Hello,

I was recently given a milkweed seedling. The only thing I knew about them at the time was that they are good for butterflies. Now that I’ve started looking into it, I’ve learned that they can spread by rhizome quite aggressively. I’d like to plant it in my (urban) yard. Are there any preventative measures I can take to keep it contained?

Unfortunately, I have no idea what variety it is. I’ve attached a photo. I’ve already waited longer than I should to transplant it.
