    Bind weed

    Not sure that's how the insects see it Not having a pop; we ask farmers to grow food for us so they do. Some laxity is therefore needed when there is collateral damage but benefit of experience now suggests that we need to rein in our use of biocides

    Bind weed

    Best solution depends on level of infestation. We have a moderate amount in the garden which received little attention for the couple of years before we bought the place. If you have the patience digging out the roots can work: yes, you often leave small pieces that grow so go back and do it again. It's working for us; we're definitely getting on top of the stuff. In places it's simply impossible to access the roots so we remove as much as we can, let some top growth reoccur and repeat. It doesn't take forever to defeat bindweed; if you stick at it you can exhaust the roots. We haven't used any chemicals other than against the house where we needed to kill the stuff asap so membrane and shingle could be laid on top
  12. Used to dread the 'French trips' from school on the old ferries - four and a half hours each way 🤢 when I suffered travel sickness a lot as a kid. Then they got the Supercats - way hay; two and a bit hours of smooth flying. Now it's 2024 and... oh dear. 🤞 for a smooth crossing Mick. The six hour drive will be a doddle
  13. @peds Bionnay, just up from Les Hoches. No idea what the aspect was; it was a grey morning with light drizzle. We were under conifer canopy on a mossy mound
