Left in 2 alloys to be refurbished.
He showed be samples. Barbie silver was one, well it was so "sparkly" it would only suit a Barbie car.

Does anyone know how to stop a neighbour's rhododendron sending up shoots in my front lawn. It's ruining the lawn! :(

Phone call from daughter, “can you have a look at the water pump in my camper?”
Took it to bits & discovered a loose connection, sorted.

Roundup.
That's a weed. Shouldn't be in a garden.

Won't roundup kill the grass as well?
If you just carefully paint the leaves of the weed I think you should get away with it.
Can you get at the roots near the boundary, chop them with the spade.

Although I don't think Roundup is as good as original

It's sent out lodsa suckers/roots out all over the place :(

I'm thinking of digging along the boundary line and putting in a root barrier. She's got lodsa trees and large shrubs along both front and back gardens. They take all the good out of the ground along both boundaries making it difficult to get anything to grow.

She eventually gave up with her front garden (same problem) and paved it over, this now seems to make it worse for us as the roots now head our way.

Bloody things are near unstoppable mate you would need try to kill the thing next door then deal with whatever comes back all the time for months until its properly dead then dig it out and burn it as for the lawn while its still alive next door it will keep throwing shoots up year after year so its going to be a constant battle unless you go extreme

Had an early(ish) ride out to see me missus and while I was sat there I had a sudden thought that my Birds' mot had run out! A quick check online, and yes, it ran out 6 weeks ago!!!!!
Booked in for 9am on Monday. I'm quite confident that she will fly through, again.
