Hello all,

I'm new to this list and enjoy it very much.  My husband and I live in 
the Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts and we are  wondering 
if anyone knows how to control Bishop's weed/Gout weed.  My 
understanding is that the only way--sans chemicals--is to weed it which 
leaves us with a big pile that we don't know what to do with.  Can it 
be composted without furthering the problem?  Does anyone have any 
experience with this noxious stuff?

Thank you for your help.

Penny
