giant hogweed by Jake Hill https://padlet.com/jake_hill/9d70cj1an6tw solutions boi en-us 2017-04-24 14:19:41 UTC 2017-05-02 15:33:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Rafaelo.png cut the root jake_hill https://padlet.com/jake_hill/9d70cj1an6tw/wish/168961170 one of the current solutions to maintain the giant hogweed is to cut the root about 6 inches below the soil. this can be maintained with about 2 people and 400 plants.

strength: can drive it out of an area and possibly driving it extinct.


weakness: takes people to maintain the plants and nobody will do that willingly and it could still be toughed by animals and children.

strength: could blend into the environment and prevent hogweeds from growing.

weakness: could kill other plants too and ruin the biodiversity.

strength: nobody hurt because of it being buried

weakness: would take a lot of labor and not everyone would participate

weakness: would take research and money 

strength:would drive out the giant hog weed and replace it with a better alternative 

weakness: the only weakness of this would be getting money and scientist
