The fence has 1/2 inch wire mesh stapled along its inside, to keep the ornamental birds we keep in. This makes weeding a laborious task, as you can only reach under from one side. Is there a sprayable weed killer available that will not harm the hedge? We have grass growing virtually to the base of the hedge, but we don't mind if the very edge of the lawn suffers slightly! A similar question applies to the beech hedge down another similar sized boundary. If you've no objection to using glyphosate ("Roundup" etc), it won't do the slightest harm to the hedge Actually it will, especially if you times your idiotic advice by the thousands of people who also naively rely on such toxic chemicals, usually thinking advice from the village idiot is OK. You can download "Glyphosate.pdf" from their website at www.pesticide.org As I have a similar problem I would be interested to know what harm would the careful application of glyphosate do to the hedge if the user is careful to ensure that no drift or overspray occurs. Just times the careful use by the many thousands of people here using it and you have a huge problem. |
