Glyphosphate accident
Just wanted to share my cack-handedness; I very carefully sprayed all
the ground elder a few weeks ago, and it's all died back. I was pretty sure I'd avoided touching *everything* around it with the Roundup, but it looks like I managed to (barely) splash the established honeysuckle which was just coming into flower, and doing such a good job of hiding our oil tank. It's dying horribly. I'm really upset. I feel *intensely* stupid (and I was so, so careful, being horribly aware of the dreadful potency of our friend Mr Roundup)), and the honeysuckle was a lovely plant. Any ideas for a replacement? I may go with another honeysuckle, but I'm open to suggestions; I'm after a flowering climber, not Clematis Montana or wisteria (we have both in that part of the garden already). Given that this happened in the wanton destruction of an aggressively spreading weed, I think I'll give Russian vine a miss too. Still. At least the ground elder's been beaten. For now. -- www.gastronomydomine.com |
