Re Roundup
Does Roundup watered over all area kill tress aswell, ie... the Roundup will
only be "hitting" the base of the tree trunks. I've follwed the recent thread re this and I've decided to still use it, but wondered about trees? Because I won't be hitting the leaves as it were. New allotment is the situation. Thanks all - response or otherwise. |

The message
from "anne" contains these words: Does Roundup watered over all area kill tress aswell, ie... the Roundup will only be "hitting" the base of the tree trunks.

Thanks all - response or otherwise. Needs green stuff to be effective. Often used at the base of trees to keep a circle of weeds down whilst tree is young. IMHO, no problem just be careful with it. -- email farmer chris on Please don`t use as it`s a spam haven. |

OK thanks, that's great. I wonder why people plant "non fruit trees" in allotments. They create shade, take up a lot of space and you can't plant anything near them because of the roots. All allotments around here seem to have one huge tree at least and always in the most inconvenient place it seems. -- email farmer chris on Please don`t use as it`s a spam haven. |

Perhaps their trees have allowed allotments round them? If they are mature they probably predate the allotment scheme by some years. Maybe some council chap decided this was a good place to put the allotments as they could keep the trees and still meet their obligations. -- David |

I inherited five apples when I got my lottie of which one was useless and the other four decrepit but wonderful, including my giant Bramley. This time of year is fantastic as it's blackberry time and together with windfalls make B&A crumbles... my favourite! Biennial bearing though (boo) and this year's the off year. Just as well, given the lack of water! The only thing they shade is the access road and that's hardly a problem. -- jane Don't part with your illusions.
