Hi

I am told there is something that you can spray on privet hedges that
stops
them growing so quickly,

There used to be a growth-inhibitor product called Cutlass, I think
it has been withdrawn.

Janet
Nearly right My Bonnie Lassie-it was Cutless and you are right in that it
certainly does not appear to be available in the UK.

I bet you can't spell dikegulac either.

Yes I can it's
2,3:4,6-bis-O-(1-methylethylidene)-a-L-xylo-2-hexulofuranosonic acid.
Natually I assumed that Andrew was posting from America where the product is
still available under the name Cutless -so less of your cutting remarks
lass:-)

I once saw the effect it had on a lawn. Dull, lifeless and balding.
Bit like
me really.

That's what comes of misreading labels on garden chemicals.

True, along with eating pink cowparsley and orna*mental* ginger roots.

Janet.
