I raised a query regarding nettles etc some weeks ago and the replies
were that there was not a selective weedkiller for this. Since then my
husband bought, in France, Desherbant fraisers.
At the time I said I would post with the composition, which is 157
grammes per litre of phenmediphame. I have used it and it worked. Can
I but this in England under another name as I cannot find it here?

I'm happy to say thank god nobody can find it!! Dersherbant Fraisiers
are not recommended for small gardens but are for farmers. It has some
serious ecological effects, being an herbecide, fungicide and
insecticide in one. The bees, birds, aquatics and beneficials have
absolutely no chance of survival. The product stays for years in the
ground. You are effectively damaging the whole eco system of your
garden when the nettles could have brought you beneficial insects such
as lady birds and beautiful butterflies.
