It does have a different root structure - with a "crown", not running roots. Thanks for bringing that up - it is important that we watch out for noxious weeds.africanaussiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16660727599623626163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-80264640425524635102012-10-10T08:54:28.421+10:002012-10-10T08:54:28.421+10:00Virginia,

I understood that is has been declared a noxious weed and we are advised to eliminate it from out gardens. Is this only in some states of Australia? What does your local Landcare group know about this? Around here no nurseries sell this plant and certainly no Open Garden would use it. Asparagus fern can do enormous damage to the environment and spreads very quickly due to the root structure. In your soil and climate zone this could easily be a problem.MLM247https://www.blogger.com/profile/06365562372896637044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-64909626134059840972012-10-09T21:47:49.501+10:002012-10-09T21:47:49.501+10:00Don't get me started on those big companies pr...Don't get me started on those big companies producing genetically modified seeds. When I first became aware of the situation was when the news story broke that some religious fanatics were stockpiling food to last for many years when Armageddon came...they were also saving these genetically modified seeds as well.<br />I tend to agree with you that since their introduction we have been inundated with an increase of diseases worldwide.<br />The thing is, is that in some instances, folks were not even made aware that they were purchasing these seeds (although in some instances they had no other choice), because if they knew, they could perhaps make better choices.<br />By the way, I love everything that is going on in your garden right now....nice work.VirginiaChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17282569773671179047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1578069567609242972.post-72398665994012706032012-10-09T21:20:35.634+10:002012-10-09T21:20:35.634+10:00Such a great post.
