User's notes

The Little Crumbweed does a good job replacing Patersons Curse, horehound, thistle and other exotic herbaceous plants that Friends of Mt Majura removed in the disturbed area east of The Fair. This little colonizer will disappear once other native groundcover plants move in, a process that I observed many times when we tackled weeds at disturbed sites such as stock camps and a paddock that was used for horse holding.
