Gardening!!!
 
I ahve a problem!!

WEEDS!!!!! In paticular thistles, nettles and dandelions.

At the back of my flat is a cobbled victorian courtyard. However between all the cracks there are loads of weeds adn grass growing.

I have tried most of the standard market products and nothing seems to kill them.

Does anyone out there have any suggesations for home remedies that might get rid of them before I adopt plan B

Cheers

PS> Plan B involves a Rambo style bandana, miniature puddles of petrol under each weed and an industrial strength flame thrower. Please help em as I do not feel that I have the right sort of evil cackle required for waving a flamethrower around!!!!!

chris have you tried weedol? :)
mousie said try beer, 8O it has killed him on more than one occasion. :lol: :lol: :lol: .

You could always try pulling them Chris..

Else best time to destroy weeds with a chemical agent is in the autum, when the sapstream are going down instead off up. That way they won't come back next year.....Iff you can wait that long.

I tried beer, but the weeds were still there when I sobered up!!!

Just pave the complete garden... no problems, or put concrete in it... .hahahha... no problems any more.

Or... a huge swimmingpool will also do the trick.

I've designed gardens for some people, and also made them... was very cool to do.

I'll take one myself Tim :lol: honest it does work, I use natural products in my garden as I have 3 cats who I wouldn't want to be ill if they ate anything I'd put down.

Bren 09 Jul 2003 12:17

Dottie's right, vinegar is good for killing weeds

Chris 09 Jul 2003 20:53

Well, Salt and vinegar applied. If I had neighbours they would no doubt be wondering why i was opening a fish adn chip shop in the back yard!!!!!

original sin 09 Jul 2003 21:52

uuummmm looking out my back door I think I'd better order a container load.

tukayaway 09 Jul 2003 22:53

Someone give me a lighter and some lighter fluid, I'll nuke them mothers.

:twisted:

Peeing on them could work too?

Chris this will work believe me! It also keep all the stray cats away from your garden, and the slugs and snails the salt burns them :twisted:

EVIL!! :twisted:

Chris 10 Jul 2003 20:13

I will eat my words, the vinegar appears to be working.

Now, any suggestions as to how to detract nutters who like peeing against the back fence when drunk??

Asha 10 Jul 2003 21:00

Electrical wiring, I hear it's quite painfull

Testify 10 Jul 2003 21:03

lets see, you could put non-drying paint on your fence :D

or

electric wiring like asha sed!! sounds like a plan to me!! :twisted:

Tim 10 Jul 2003 21:30

Then you can burn those little antz hehehe :twisted:

Tim 10 Jul 2003 21:30
