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.

Surprising then to find it on a French site for French gardeners!
