Creeping Buttercups

Creeping Buttercups

I along with anyone who has had to deal with them know what a pain in the butt creeping buttercups are. Pretty little yellow flowers that spread so fast and root so easily! Although I am aware that the plant roots itself from the stemmy sucker tendral parts, I’m curious if anyone has attempted to use it as a chop and drop mulch? I have read about the plants thriving in compacted nitrogen poor soil so I am working on amending my garden area along with pulling em out and making a compost tea with them or baking them in the sun in a pile until I am assured they are dry and dead… but I gotta know if someone has been able to work with these stubborn buggers! I do my best to appreciate or find various uses for so called ‘weeds’ and often times welcome them. EXCEPT for buttercups. I do love butter tho hahaha
