has anybody ever found a four leaf clover? i remember going to mountains where i saw whole patches of those flowers but i never found 1. maybe they should genetically engineer them at bio labs and sell them for unlucky people like me eh?.. :-/

Handle it with gloves and compost it? Its not like you'd be LIVING in your composting bin. ;)
=================================================

I found one once, many years ago...and yeah they should make more to sell and also to ward off Warwick Davis attacks. :D

(look him up if you don't get the joke :))

Everyone is doing it the hard way.

Weeding:

Step 1. Poison. Roundup is good, give it a shitload (the shitload being an Australian unit of measurement).
Step 2. Optional- more poison.
Step 3. Let them die. Don't pull them out, leave them as a warning to others.
Step 4. Go inside, play games.

Pruning Bushes:

Step 1. Get electric chainsaw.
Step 2. Prune 10cm from ground.
Step 3. Go inside, play games.

I've seen them in the next doors pool and always wondered if I was responsible.

All fine and well(your post) until this bit:

Hope you enjoy glyphosate exposure and possible risk of cancer. o.0
============================================ Depends....do you fling as much fertilizer over the fence at your neighbor/neighbor's yard as you do here(on occasion)? ;)

Well I tend to ignore spelling mistakes because no-one seems to bother using correct spelling online anyway.
It sounds like you wanted constructive criticism though, so:
You'd have a hard time using a pitchfork to dig out weeds mate.
Even a dinner fork is a better digging apparatus for weeds.
Or perhaps you meant you use a garden fork?
A belated Christmas present, I didn't want to disappoint you. :).

weeds ? trees ? where ? o.O

all I see is snow, more snow, and nothing but snow... I can't even see my car. :(

you guys must be from another planet. in that case, I salute you! :)



but seriously now, don't use chemicals to kill weeds. it's bad for you and your pets. don't listen to all those bullsheep commercials. :|

On that topic I'm actually quite surprised people are so careless when using even Glyphosate, As a farmer when I do spot-spray with Glyphosate with a marker dye I wear rubber boots, full cotton overalls, long PVC gloves a respirator and eye goggles. And I don't go around getting my clothes soaked with the stuff either. You pick a day with optimum windspeed to prevent overspray, stand upwind where possible and keep the spraying wand down low and away from you or anyone else's body. Chances are the boots are the only things that get damp.

But no, some people won't even read the fine-print warnings on the herbicide bottles regarding appropriate protection, let alone follow good practise. Unfortunately the complacent will get this useful chemical banned for everyone else.

More like warning labels put on the bottles(Monsanto is very wealthy and influential, sadly), but I get what you're saying...it has it's uses.

Also agreed on the rest(snipped to save space)...people really need to use such sparingly and use common sense.

You didn't. I'd expect nothing less from you.
