My simple solution saves all the nettles. Then, in gentle and easy-to-comprehend stages, one can introduce the qualifiers. It takes time and patience but I'm sure that with kindness, training can be achieved. ;-) -- Sacha (remove the weeds to email me) |

Forgive for being off topic a little. As an undergardener's boy's 2nd
assistant in Herts. I spent weeks on my knees pulling 'annual nettles' from the strawberry beds. I have never seen or heard of them them since. Did they really exist or were my swollen hands imaginary? It was quite a few decades ago!

I find that men (in general) need VERY specific instructions :~) My dad was always chopping down my chives because he thought it was grass. You might need to go out and show your spouse exactly what a nettle looks like! If he still doesn't get the message, have him touch the nettles so he knows what they feel like !!!!!!!!! You could also get a couple of those naf butterfly's on sticks. Put them in amongst the nettles to remind him why they should not be cut down :~) Jenny |

In article , Kate Morgan writes Why not rope off the area you want to keep? A number of canes pushed in around the perimeter and then cord tied from one to the other. Then when he comes up to it he should remember it's special. Its too late for my nettles but they will grow again soon I hope and yes it is a good idea to fence/rope of the special areas,my daughter has already suggested that so now I must act, tomorrow is another day :-) Have you thought of showing him this thread? -- Malcolm |

You could warn him that if he strims them, the odd one will fly up in the air, and if it hits him in the face it could be *very* painful ..

Urtica urens, as opposed to U dioica, which is the perennial one. U dioica seems to spread mainly by runners, and I've always assumed those little seedlings you get coming up in early summer are U urens. Apparently U urens has male and female flowers on the same plants, whereas U dioica has them on separate plants, but I've never let either of them hang around long enough to find out. -- Kay Easton Edward's earthworm page: http://www.scarboro.demon.co.uk/edward/index.htm |

You can do as my wife did. she literally smasshed it into the driveway until
it broke. "Kate Morgan" wrote in message ... or how can I sabotage my husbands strimmer without him suspecting it is me? every year about this time he runs amok with said strimmer and every year my bank of nettles and wild flowers get the chop, I am very very upset in fact I think I will give up gardening :-( kate |
