Observe the foreign species and start the fight in time
The control of alien species, such as lupine, black rose and giant balsam, should be started well in the spring, because early control can prevent the flowering of alien species and the development and spread of seeds.
- When alien species are eradicated in time, they do not spread their seeds in the environment, says the city gardener Erika Luhtanen from the city of Imatra.
It is the responsibility of the landowner and plot owner to eradicate alien species from their area. The street area between the plot and the street is also under the care of the plot owner.
- The growth of lupins and other alien species growing on your own plot and on the plot along the street should be monitored and mowed or uprooted before they bloom, says Luhtanen.
The city combats alien species by mowing down lupines before they bloom, and by eradicating giant pipe and giant balsam from nature areas. The gray rose has mostly been eradicated, but even that work is still being continued.
- In addition, we distribute iron phosphate to city residents to combat the Spanish snail to be sown on the city's land, from where the snails come into the yards. New alien species are monitored and mapped to obtain information, says Luhtanen.
Information on alien species and their eradication has been collected, for example To the website of the city of Imatra.
Common guest sports on Wednesday 12.6.2024 June XNUMX
This year, the city of Imatra and Fortum will jointly organize guest sports events. On Wednesday, June 12.6.2024, 14.00, from 17.00:XNUMX p.m. to XNUMX:XNUMX p.m., lupins will be weeded and chopped before they start to bloom. The Talkoo area is located in Ivoniemi and near the town stream.
- In the area, the rare and calmed eastern gorse grows, whose living conditions we strive to improve by preventing the spread of lupins, Luhtanen explains.
The talks start at the west end of the power plant, where it is possible to get to know the power plant from the inside. At the event, gloves will be distributed to people from Talko, and snacks will also be available.

Now it's the right thing to do...
Now it's the right thing to do.
In Ritkanranta, there would still be time for control, because lupine has not yet spread widely. Who would organize it?
The town of Meltola region…
City streets in the Meltola region full of lupine. Kulotus would destroy the growths and snails that spread like crazy in an untreated area, no matter what you do in the neighborhood.
Itä Siitola would need snail poison, they have been listed there for years in connection with the collection of snails. The giant pipes were already removed from there.
Giant balm and giant buckwheat...
Giant balsam and giant buckwheat spread recklessly on the neighbor's unkempt plot. And on the other two plots, that balsam. Now, on the plot we manage, the beginnings of balsam are completely covered in a three-meter zone. You can cut the grass on top, but you should remove them from among the plants. But if there were other things to do 🥴
