OT Did I ever mention...
Oh, that's a good idea - perhaps I'll have to try that on our buttercup.
Psych them out g .. In message , NightMist writes We are now going to be trying a tried and true method for dealing with the nutgrass. Find something useful to do with it. Works every time. For example, dandelions and chicory are blessed hard to find in our yard. We eat 'em, so of course they vanished. We have thus far discovered that nutgrass is a relative of papyrus, so we will play with paper making and basket weaving. We have also discovered that the tubers are very edible, so we will save some out and do some culinary experimentation. All it will take is for one family member to decide they are very nummy, or one recipe to be improved by the addition, and Poof! it will vanish. NightMist I think it was Culpepper who said that a weed is a plant for which you have not yet found a use. -- Best Regards pat on the hill |
