Glyphosate

Many of them are invasive, and all are attractive and (I believe) edible. If it is ramsons or some of the others (or bluebells!), the primary way they discourage grass and other plants is by producing a solid mass of leaves and/or bulbs/roots - so they remove all light, water etc. I don't think that any of them will survive repeated mowing, or invade into a regularly mown area. But that does mean during most of their growing season. Regards, Nick Maclaren. Cheers, Nick. That's reassuring |
