| 502642 | 2006-11-30 04:18:00 | Unfortunately we have quite a few exceptions to your rule, Joe. (Maybe roots go deeper in cooler climes than yours) My garden's most obvious example of a virtually unkillable, long-rooted unweedoutable perennial pest is the dock plant. If you don't get them while they're young, they'll outlive you... They've no flowers that you ever notice, but somehow produce enormous heads of seed while your back's turned. Water with" Roundup",that'l slow em down a bit. |

And the stronger stuff that slows them down has to be kept off everything else around them or I'd have a waste land. These babies are tough ... and they know just which precious plants to grow alongside. |

| 502644 | 2006-11-30 09:17:00 | That's what I thought when I found some of that cluttering up native bush, Winston. But the young couple next door explained that it was a new variety of tomato plant & they were experimenting with different growing conditions. I don't think they fruited well, though. Errrrr ? Tomatoes or young couple :confused: |

| 502646 | 2006-11-30 10:01:00 | Sounds interesting, beetle. I've never used a water softener, but no doubt can find a rock salt brand name at my CRT or similar (Combined Rural Traders) And R2x1 - the answer is both. Possibly a fertilisation problem... |

| 502650 | 2006-12-01 15:43:00 | I have found the "weed v plant" axiom: Let my dog run in the yard for a few minutes....what she tears out was plants, and what's left is weeds. |
