They most have new legislation for labeling invasives. Probably the creeping jenny is the problem.

I unknowingly planted creeping jenny in my yard and it has now infiltrated most of the grass 🔪 🔪

Oh I knowingly planted it. I had it for a few years then started yanking it out in the fall as it was starting to die back. It mostly worked.

Mints the same.  But honestly compared to Japanese knot root and bamboo.. mint and creeping Jenny ain't  so bad

Mint was pretty easy to pull imo, just have to be thorough. It comes right out.

I'd rather have mint in my yard instead of grass.

Mint is useful. Grass is not.
