That new roundup gel
first started, about 6 weeks ago. I had a bramble growing up through some foxgloves, and thought this gel might be the only way to deal with the problem, short of killing the foxgloves. I applied the gel. It leaves a shiny film on the leaves, so you can by Tootles

Talkback: Garden butterflies
particularly thick area of bramble beside the steps on which we were sitting. The sun was quite strong and we were both surprised and amazed to see two Comma butterlies crawl from deep in the thicket, spread their wings and dry themselves out before flying off by Jeff Goodley

Talkback: To spray, or not to spray?
to run an allotment where there are perennial weeds without glyphosphate, especially if there are brambles as there are on mine. Sometimes a thick mulch of carpet helps with some weeds but has the disadvantage of being slow and will not necessarily by happymarion

Tackling erosion
there at present is bramble. Ferns in other places seem to have been very effective at holding back the bank and I'd like to extend these but haven't a clue how to start. I have ferns in other places that I could split but would this be the best way to propagate by Carole Lacy
