This Columbine did not get the memo, telling it to bloom in the spring. Pretty sweet--I must have cut it back at the right time!

Spraying goatheads(also known as puncture vine) is NOT the way to get rid of them!! EVER! You kill the plant, BUT every flower that was there still puts on a seed pod. Each seed pod can than produce 4-6 seeds. A single mature plant can produce 200-500 seeds-- yikes!
They then use a time-release system where some seeds will germinate with the first rainfall, and other seeds can remain dormant for 5-7 years.
Goatheads need to be pulled and put in a plastic bag to be disposed of. Do not compost them-- that will not kill the seeds!
If you decide to try and burn them, a very high level of heat needs to be used. A light scorching can cause pod to open up and germinate.
Can you guess where this is? Can you imagine a dog walking across this? And when a deer walks across, the pods get stuck on their hooves, and then drops of in the next neighborhood--no wonder they are everywhere (goatheads AND deer). Does anyone know if goatheads are on the noxious weeds list for Alamosa?

City of Alamosa... take a look at this!!

We partnered with the North Fork Valley Pool, Park, & Recreation District this season! And this week we dropped off totes of #Lawngevity for application onto their ball fields. We’re grateful for local partnerships. Thank you Stephanie, Chris, and the hands that made this happen! S/O to our soil crew, Atlas Rentals, and the biology that is at work repairing the mineral profile of places we frequent and love to maintain diversity, water, and healthy biology. #lawngcare #coloradolawns #soilhealthy #soilbiology #nfv #nfvpools #westslope #paoniaco #hotchkiss #mineralize #biology
