Milfoil in Moultonborough!

TomC · 06-29-2010, 04:37 AM

since i got a letter from the town last week that said during treatment drinking from intake pipes would be prohibited (and no removal will take place within 50ft of wells) - it does not appear to be a mechanical removal...

I believe they do the chemicals first and then the harvesting.

The chemicals kill the milfoil, but its phosphorus laden carcass needs to be removed or it becomes food for algae and other plants. After the large areas are treated, harvesting can control the small outbreaks. The weed watchers program is chartered with monitoring the treated areas for new colonies.
