I HATE WEEDING!!!

[lurker17260]

I've been at it all morning, I'm scratched all up my arms and I've broken one of my nails that I have been nuturing for the past 6 weeks

I should live in an apartment with no garden I reckon.

must admit, i sprayed a sprout from a tree which i thought was a weed, it half killed the tree but it should eventually make good fire wood

but you'll never catch me pullin' weeds, im on half acre, and if i shifted to a smaller block .. i would continue spraying them as i do my garden beds anyhow and havent killed a plant yet

btw, i see council workers spray weeds, some are females, lol

Oh, i use telephone books often; to prop things up or weigh things down, to press flowers, and many other uses 🙂

have to admit I do not remember when last time I looked into one for a phone number 🙂

It is a bit too windy to spray weeds here at present. Don't want the spray drifting to plants/shrubs you want to grow.

yes a-3, another safety measure is to wear a mask and to avoid getting any on you

they say its safe to use but in that area i still wouldnt trust it

An old friend of mine told me to use a paint brush to dab the weed killer on weeds in my garden beds.  It works but only if you keep at it.  I'll be spending the day tomorrow weeding my garden unless if rains - do we need more rain?

We received the business and government phone book Lis but they are no longer distributing the residential one.  You can order one or pick one up at the post office if you need it.  Good move!

I used a weed spray a couple of weeks ago in one bed.  Now I have waist high brown weeds sticking up rather than waist high green weeds.  I'm still going to have to pull them out once they have finished spreading their seeds everywhere.

There is a new product out at Bunnings, it is a gel and you just dab it where you want to murder a weed. No spray to other plants.

i doubt those poisoned weeds with seeds will produce any further growth joono

generally i attack weeds about a foot height

and it depends on how fussy you are waiting for the dead weeds to fall

by the time im ready to kill the next batch of new growth, the old killed weeds have diminished long ago

pullin' dead weeds defeats the purpose, might as well pull green weeds if your going to pull dead ones!

Exactly Joz but they are those horrible prickly ones that splinter in your fingers.  It will be a rubber glove job.

i get those spikey things here too joono

ive been a bit slack at times and allowed them to grow higher then a foot

so when some still stand when theres new growth to be sprayed, i tread on them, lol
