Wollemi Pine
"Rupert (W.Yorkshire)" writes
For a few years the shelves of most Garden centres were fairly devoid of the killing stuff due to the banning and slow withdrawal of a lot of the traditional and nasty stuff. I too have noticed that once again they are increasing in volume and variety. The actual range of chemicals used has dropped and many products which are sold are technically organic (natural) without trumpeting the fact. It is better now than it was and will continue to improve. As far as the fertiliser stuff is concerned not much has changed-it's all NPK of one form or another and AFAIC it is not a problem. I do wonder whether we need so *much* of it. Surveys by Plantlife show that the wildflowers that are increasing most are things like nettles and the other thugs which like high nutrient soils, and we are losing plants which are adapted to compete well on poor soils. We also seem to be getting increasing problems of nitrogen run off into streams -- Kay |
