I was listening to You & Yours this lunchtime and caught a bit of an article
about EU banning certain Pesticides & hebicides from Today. Does anyone know
what the list is?

As for that Monty Don - he has gone well down in my estimation, positively
enthusing about the demise of chemicals. He may have the time to hand pick
weeds and insects and go organic, but I'm sure that i have not.

I can see what Monty means, and would like to agree with his
sentiments were it not for the fact that my garden suffers from
Leaf Tree Miner ( I don't know which type) which disfigures
my fruit trees, and my ornamentals. I'm now unable to purchase
anything which gets rid of them.

Likewise Armitillox, which I've used for years in cleaning nasties
from specialised soil beds.

These Eurocrats are a ruddy nuisance.
