I Plucked 700 Little Rose of Sharon Sprouts, But I Can’t Keep Up—Help!
Welcome to Ask a Pro! Every month, we’ll take your questions about home improvement, DIY, lawn and garden, and homeownership and answer them with the help of professionals. Our experts are vetted and verified—and they’re eager to share their knowledge.
Last month, BobVila.com readers submitted lawn and garden questions on Facebook and Instagram, and via our newsletter.

In this very first installment of our Ask a Pro series, Rosemarie tackles your questions about getting rid of invasive plant species: Rose of Sharon, bamboo, English ivy, and Poison ivy and Poison oak.
