Ground Elder - what would GC do?

So they don't mention Horsetail, Ground Elder and Bindweed, which are the most difficult to control ... let alone Japanese Knotweed etc.

 

*gulp*

...thanks Kristen

 

a trip to 'Omebase on the weekend me thinks.

 

Actually they do mention those weeds:

but they say that all their chemicals kill all of them (and maybe they do), bar Japanese Knot Weed, but there are no specific instructions for how to deal with them, or whether one chemical is more effective than another, which would be a doodle for them to include on the website.

 

Well that's the first third of it done:




Planted some Sunflowers, Nasturtiums and a dark-leafed Weigela. Also built a little car port for the pram. The next third is going to be a real test, rock hard clay so I think a good soaking in advance is going to be needed.
