Local landscape architect field trials and tribulations of phragmites and knotweed control. Volunteers needed. By Bob Laravie, Mill Creek Steward What is that horrible screeching sound? Dragging the canoe into Port Jefferson’s Mill Creek Pond, the area recently rebranded as Brook Pond Park, I am off on another session of underwater cutting. Underwater cutting of invasive Phragmites seems to work well. Maintaining water depth of the pond is important because if the plants break the water surface they can regenerate quickly.
