SP>    ...It seems hops is an exhuberant grower, and hers is becoming a 
st.
I have a difficult time believing it would become a pest here, but I could be 
wrong, so I'll
let you know, just as soon as I can get some started, here in Oklahoma.  I 
don't know of
anyone who has ever tried it here, (it might be because they don't want to 
experience the frightening irradication *again*!   :)
 SP>    And I consider comfrey just about as bad.
I can tell you this isn't the case in Oklahoma.  I only  know of a few places 
it grows, and
I haven't heard *anyone* complain about it's invasiveness...  I have to get 
some of this,
as well!  My invitation to have some starts left with the lady that was going 
to make sure
 I got some   :)
 SP>  ... even a leaf portion landing on damp soil can sprout.
Well, this has got to be the reason that it doesn't become a problem, here, 
in Oklahoma... we don't have much "damp soil"!     Well, it doesn't stay 
"damp" for very long, at least...
cheers,
wls
