Although I don't know what dari is!

Ahh yeah prob - will check the bag in the morning. I did toy earlier
in the year with buying a huge sack of it and covering the field at
the back in it, and just seeing what grew./ Probably only ever so
slightly naughty though.

Just go to a Fishing Tackle shop and buy some Hemp seed (if it's still
available), used to use it boiled for catching Roach etc.

You can buy henp seed at a supermarket - well, Waitrose anyway.

No good for roach though. Doesn't even taste wonderful.

I don't think bird seed has that weed in any more, for just that reason.
Used to be a very common plant on landfill sites.

Whatever this is something is scoffing it as fast as it can grow. I
have seen a couple of caterpillas in the area but none on it yet.
(There was a very strange red streaked one that looked just the same
colour as the fence paint OH was using last week...)

They're the stripey ones? This had a top half red and underside
green... as if it'd been painted...

This is not a Cinnabar Moth Caterpillar. These are striped yellow and
black and only eat Ragwort and some related plants. This is some other
kind of moth. In my experience most caterpillars on cabbage are moths.
