Be careful what you say. Some of Richard's NZ plant police may pass your name onto the US Plant Police. Sort of a quid pro quo thing among Global Plant Police network. Oh damn, now I've peed in your soup. Sorry. LOL ,but jokes to one side,i believe they are doing exactly that. Uhhh, I wasn't joking.  |

Well just keep plugging away. To use your avatar as reference, if you have to live in Mordor, at least take solace you live in the Nurn section, where things actually grow.

C'mon, guys. The police, of every stripe, have our best interests at heart, especially those of global reach, who just want to defend us from those who would tempt us to not blithely accept the status quo.

I know of a fellow who developed a strain of Round up ready Johnson Grass. It is on a farm that I looked to buy many years ago and didn't because there was too much Johnson Grass there already. I don't know how long it had been abandoned for the grass to get such a good start. Anyway I'm told that some hunter types form the city bought it and again I'm told on advice from the DNR they rounded up the Johnson Grass to make room for deer food plots. (deer are easier to hunt if you feed em). But since I think Johnson Grass is a little round up ready, already, it didn't quite work, but they kept trying. I'v noticed as I pass it on the way to a fishing pond I use that pretty much nothing grew there after a while except some scrawny looking Johnson Grass. Maybe if they had tried a couple more years it would have killed it but they finally stopped. Now it is the most glorious field of Johnson Grass you ever want to see, probably 50 acres or more of with its seed heads waving in the breeze. I'll try to remember to take a camera next time I go fishing and let you all see it.
Nothing gonna stop it now.

Trees could be planted there and the grass would be shaded out in ten years time

Roundup ready corn makes a nice arbor for Roundup tolerant bindweed in this area.  |

Roundup won't kill bindweed here. Has to be Bonide's weed killer. It was bad in parts of the community gardens 7 or 8 years ago. One guy tried Roundup and barely made it sick. We got some of Bonide's stuff and wiped it out with one application.

We just keep digging bindweed out week after week, year after year. What is Bonide's weed killer? Though our community garden does not allow pesticides or herbicides.
