Weeding Out The Stinknet — Why It's Good To Pull Them Out

And now for something a little different: Let’s talk about weeds.

In particular, about one weed with a particularly funny name: stinknet.

The name isn’t so much about the smell as it is about encouraging people to pull it out.

In January, it was classified as a noxious weed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture — and that’s because it’s everywhere. And it’s not good for our environment.

The Show sat down with Annia Quiroz with the Central Arizona Conservation Alliance more about it.

Lauren Gilger, host of KJZZ's The Show, is an award-winning journalist whose work has impacted communities large and small, exposing injustices and giving a voice to the voiceless and marginalized.
