Privet – Stopping Sprouts
Q: I am simply ate up with Chinese privet. I plan to run it through a wood chipper. Is it safe to use or will I still have to worry about it sprouting wherever I use it.
A: There’s no problem with privet sprouting from the chips. By the time a plant has been reduced to small pieces, the buds are no longer viable.
