Not been on for a while ....and all i see is posts on using various chemicals for the quick kill of weeds and nasties.IMO if you want to eat and feed your family on chemical laced foods go to your local supermarket and buy it shipped in from some whereazakasthan.

Hi levi
Im sorry but it annoys me  >:(whats wrong with napalming the lot and some hard work?

Apart from the obvious effects upon the soil, no matter what the instructions say, for me its the sight of that sad 'yellowing' that just doesn't make me feel good.
A few weeks back I re-cut and straightened my beds to the size of my plot after which my eedjat neighbour decided to re-edge his. Now we've had several convo's bout my not using chems and I promised to strim the path between us to avoid this but a week later he had to go and splash it about. Think he got so far ahead of his-self he had nowt better to do. Couldn't believe it and when I asked he said he'd only done it near his side! But it would keep them at bay for a good while.
What's the threat I ask? Each to his own but where we have to co-exist in life, surely there are compromises.
I read on here about keeping parsnip for seed so I replanted one he'd given me just for the hell of it. When I asked him if he'd ever done it he said, no I like to get fresh seed every year!!
Clearly it's factory produced
Bless em
Good night
