Oops!

I just read a funny but unfortunate article on Yahoo! about a man who accidentally killed entire acres of his lawn due to using the wrong gardening product. Has something this awful ever happened to you?!

 

Awww thats a shame that is and he was trying to do it for charity too i bet he was well angry with himself

 

I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for the man. He is exactly the reason why many chemicals should be restricted. Without having first made sure he fully understood what he was doing, he dumped presumably gallons of some chemical all over a wide area of his land.

But hang on a minute while I get down off my high horse and pack my soap box away....

Right... Blunders....

I once lost my footing and fell backwards down an approx 10ft sheer drop with a chainsaw in my hands, which was running full throttle at the time as I was cutting a big tree.

 

I know some one that didn't empty out a sprayer half full of round up (didn't half five minutes etc) then he went out with that sprayer thinking he put another chemical in it and went out a sprayed a field of rape 30acres, killed the lot (Agi sprayer)

 

That article says he used a PESTICIDE but then goes on to say it was a weed killer. Duh...... make up my mind!!

 

I noticed that too. I let it slip because it was obviously written by a townie.

 

Facepalm.

 

Couple of my customers have pulled the Roundup footsteps on the lawn trick.
I once pierced a too shallow plastic gas pipe feeding a swimming pool boiler,with a ciggy in my mouth.
Oh how I laughed.

 

In MY book it means BUGS!

 

Please tell us more about the footsteps trick Coal thief.......... sounds interesting !

 

One of them even tried blaming me,till I pointed out that my size 12 boots were rather bigger than the dead patches.
