We haven’t carried water lettuce for well over a year now because of its invasive properties.
Starting June 19, both water lettuce and water hyacinth will be added to the prohibited plant species in the state of Michigan.
It will be unlawful to introduce, import, possess or sell either of those species in Michigan.
If you currently have either of those species proper disposal of these plants is to seal it in a plastic bag and place it in your garbage. Do not compost or throw it directly into a trash can as this could be potential for it to make it to a nearby water source. Please spread the news so that we can prevent the spread of these invasive species into local waterways.
