I do agree. But if you read Don's gardening articles in Saturday's
Daily Mail Magazine, his mantra is "Chemicals should not be used".
That's it - no argument. And that is why I prefer Buckland to Don;
he's a lot more open minded.


I do so agree! If you were to move into and (god forbid) inherit a plot
full of horsetail or ground elder or Japanese knotweed it's not much
good trying to be philosophical and trying to 'work with it' or abandon
weed killer for ever,
Just as dangerous as using a lot I could have said - i mean look what
happens when people let Rhododendrons go wild or other stuff, they then
become a blinking source of infection to our native plants/
