Round-upped plot photo

[Squash64]

Following from the bindweed discussion, this is a photo of a plot where Roundup has been used over the whole area, not just to spot-weed.
(the plants in the background are on someone else's plot)



The man has one solitary marrow in the middle of it.  I noticed that the leaves are losing colour but I don't know if that's anything to do with Roundup or not.

    Hi Squash,

   A sad sight indeed  --  all those creatures, wanted or  not  -   obliterated too,

   Not a quick fix at all is it, how long before that even begins to recover I wonder,

I'm glad I am not next to that plot!  I don't mind spot weeding with the stuff but that just looks nasty.

It looks really horrible, I had a shock when I saw it because it's not visible from the front of his plot.

I agree.  Luckily, the man on the adjoining plot is the one who sold him the Roundup.

I hope he's going to plant it up soon - no point in using roundup then leaving, he'll just get the weeds that roundup is less effective on!

On our site roundup has been used over and over to get rid of weeds with no success at all. You see the plots looking like that for perhaps 2 or 3 weeks and then they are back as they were before. You can't beat a good old dig.

Well it looks better than a load of old carpet.

When I was at college we were taught to clear land this way.

I hate it and would dig anytime on a plot this size, ;D
