It will chop the bindweed roots into millions of pieces each of which will grow into a new plant. We had bindweed on our old allotment. On our new ones it's mares tail. We won't use a rotovator no matter how much everyone badgers us to. You're doing brilliantly, particularly as your son has been so poorly. I hope he is feeling better soon.Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157850478234582369.post-62319678449525147052017-03-18T01:20:28.031-07:002017-03-18T01:20:28.031-07:00I think it makes sense but so many people keep say...I think it makes sense but so many people keep saying to me 'you need to get a rotavator on that' and the bearded one hates the 'untidy' cardboard!Chickpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010543012720394937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3157850478234582369.post-20396074442528462782017-03-18T01:14:39.085-07:002017-03-18T01:14:39.085-07:00Ours was from Wendron Stoves, they were very helpf...Ours was from Wendron Stoves, they were very helpful. I lit it last night when the wind was howling and it made the room feel so cosy. Yes it is Tresliske, but I'm a bit wary of all those coffee machines and trusting people to clean them properly. I was waiting for a coffee to be made in a very nice cafe elsewhere when after wiping the machine and worktop with those J clothes they used the barista accidentally dipped the cloth in my coffee and served it anyway.
