[APD] Re: plants in sanitary sewers

[Diane Brown <debunix at well_com>]

Our local club HAP has just initiated changes so that we won't get 
propagation credit for some potentially nuisance species, and he 
suggested that drying and burning were the only safe way to dispose of 
those plants--he specifically suggested that composting was not safe 
enough.  I've been putting cuttings in my worm bin, where they should 
get eaten, but they aren't subjected to the same high temps they would 
if composted.

I'm thinking that maybe I should "cook" them (oven?  microwave?  
pressure cooker?) because I don't have a fireplace.  But really, just 
how resilient is hygro polysperma outside water?
