It's not pretty but keep your nerve! Trying to dig it out is a disaster, frankly because every broken off bit of root gives rise to a new plant. I wonder if it works with the dreaded Japanese Knotweed. I know someone who's just moved into a house and seeing that emerging from the crazy paving wasn't the best house warming present! Perhaps you could give her a house warming present of a new paintbrush! No, sorry, you've lost me there. To paint on the weedkiller. Ah, thanks. I've only ever used a spray for nuisance weeds. This knotweed sounds like a pretty serious business. It's a pest and a pain. I mention the paintbrush because of the weeding I did today on the drive. Most parts of the garden were almost windless but this had a steady breeze and any spray would have drifted onto things we don't want ruined! For a variety of reasons, this year has been very busy and spare hands in short supply, so soil we dug over last year has been pounced upon by tiresome but easily uprooted weeds like Shepherd's purse and goose grass. Unfortunately, it's a fairly broad and long area and I would have loved to have been able to spray it! -- Sachahttp://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' I sprayed this p.m. no breeze and I zapped all seedlings coming through but I also sprayed some Fleur de Lys by mistake, the forecast for tonight is a storm so I am just about to go to bed and I am really looking forward to the it. I love laying in bed listening to the rain battering the windows, you can tell I was born in Eire, goodnight all. You should spend your winters on the Dutch Riviera  )Is that an invite? :-) No, more like sarcasm )-- Martin I thought so :-) Judith |
