User's notes

Went nuts pulling this rubbish out by the roots. A couple of hundred shoots removed today. Very good for my OCD. Need to go back again tomorrow and remove some other surrounding infestations.

Aaron do you have any idea about the host plant? I found vast numbers on horehound.

No idea, but I will quickly check tomorrow Waltraud. The exact same host plant was also covered in it last year, which I also pulled out. But this year it has come back even stronger!
