Name that plant!
Hi,
I've spent the last month or so at weekends preparing my garden for new turf. The glyphosate obliterated everything including the grass and comfry, which is great, however this cheeky "ivy type" plant (might even be ivy but don't think so) keeps growing through even when buried deep underground. It also grows up my garden wall. Little bits of the root got dispersed around the garden and now on my lovely brown garden (which is awaiting turf) there are the odd few leaves sprouting out! Could somebody please name this plant (see photo) and suggest a weed killer powerful enough to kill off the plant and its roots? Thanks |

Out of curiosity, I just did a quickie search under keywords "Monsanto Evil". Was amazed at the number of sites and the detail on their evil- doing. Another search on "Monsanto and Roundup" yielded another "harvest" of evil. HB |

Glyphosate is out of its exclusive use patent so there are competitors making it now, often much cheaper than Monsanto. It won't be called roundup whcih is their trade name. D |

It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks and the portfolios of the uber-rich. http://www.politifact.com/wisconsin/.../michael-moore /michael-moore-says-400-americans-have-more-wealth-/ |
