1) In South Florida's clear-running rainwater canals, milfoil can root in 20 feet of water. (Five days a week, a barge harvests big piles from all the canals, county-wide—it's trucked away—then starts all over again).
2) In Lake Winnipesaukee, it's rarely seen on rocky-bottomed locales that face the prevailing NW wind: where there's been clear-cutting, development, lawns, rapid runoff—plus the silting that results—milfoil can't help but flourish.
3) In Florida, I've always pulled the stuff, dried it and burned it. It burns hot, so maybe the pulled Milfoil can feed the Bridgewater Power Plant.
4) Septic Leachates contain the essentials for milfoil "food". (Phosphorus and Nitrogen). Phosphorus is largely regulated in detergents; however, Phosphorus is
exempted by the Federal Government in
dishwasher detergent.
(So you "Greenies", get out the sponge, "Dawn" and hot water—like me!
).
5) Nitrogen milfoil "food" is provided by septic leachates. (Anthropogenic Milfoil-Feeding—AMF?)

Reducing nutrients would reduce the
rate of milfoil growth so, maybe, it's
close to "shovel-ready"?
Where's our NH Congresswoman on this?
