Roger Brook - the no dig gardener: Buying glyphosate
http://www.nodiggardener.co.uk/2012/10/buying-glyphosate.html
Roger Brook - the no dig gardener. Thursday, 4 October 2012. If you buy glyphosate as a ready-to-use spray, you are either very rich or have a very small garden. A back of the envelope calculation for a litre of diluted spray would be. Ready to use - GB£4. Made up spray from garden centre concentrate - 60 pence. Made up from commercial concentrate - 6 pence. Margins are maintained for garden centres and shops. A few Glyphosate products. Numerous brands of glyphosate are now available. I love the way ...

Roger Brook - the no dig gardener: Using glyphosate
http://www.nodiggardener.co.uk/2012/09/using-glyphosate.html
Roger Brook - the no dig gardener. Monday, 3 September 2012. After I took early retirement, clients would often employ me to eliminate perennial weeds such as couch, ground elder and bindweed from their gardens. The easier commissions were when the gardens had been totally neglected. The weeds were intact! My Nimbus 2000 broomstick with its extendable wand. Must not be flown in windy conditions. 5 September 2012 at 13:47. Lewis Starkey, Penn State. 5 September 2012 at 14:17. Roy Sinclair, Snettisham.

Roger Brook - the no dig gardener: 6 Using glyphosate selectively
http://www.nodiggardener.co.uk/2013/06/6-using-glyphosate-selectively.html
Roger Brook - the no dig gardener. Thursday, 6 June 2013. 6 Using glyphosate selectively. Unless you look very carefully you will not usually see. Sprayed weeds in my garden. Of the spray. Glyphosate does not know the difference between a plant and a weed. It potentially will kill them all! There is a fine balance in the care needed when using glyphosate. I find to my horror some men. There is a happy medium! It takes less than three minutes to spray my ‘acid border’. Too many things can go wrong! I am s...

Roger Brook - the no dig gardener: (7) Using glyphosate selectively; selectivity by timing
http://www.nodiggardener.co.uk/2013/10/7-using-glyphosate-selectively.html
Roger Brook - the no dig gardener. Wednesday, 23 October 2013. 7) Using glyphosate selectively; selectivity by timing. I make the usual provisos that glyphosate is not. This post is part of a series. I do not want to persuade inexperienced users to follow my methods Certainly not until they have read my previous posts. Insert ‘glyphosate’ into my search box to find out more. For example lose their leaves between March and August. It is safe to spray then. And you can spray it anytime! Are about to appear.

Roger Brook - the no dig gardener: Peat compost: hang up your hangups
http://www.nodiggardener.co.uk/2015/08/peat-compost-hang-up-your-hangups.html
Roger Brook - the no dig gardener. Tuesday, 4 August 2015. Peat compost: hang up your hangups. It is time to return to using peat compost. Is it necessary to use peat to grow rhododendrons? In part one of my series I happened to mention that some modern seed and potting composts are quite execrable. I promised to discuss the merits of peat and to explain how misinformation has led to public opinion that the use of peat in the garden is an environmental sin. I understand now that many insightful people su...

Roger Brook - the no dig gardener: Control of Marestail and Horsetail
http://www.nodiggardener.co.uk/2015/03/control-of-marestail-and-horsetail.html
Roger Brook - the no dig gardener. Thursday, 19 March 2015. Control of Marestail and Horsetail. I am a little disingenuous when I include marestail in the title. Your real threat is almost certainly horsetail. The names are frequently confused and I regularly do so myself! Your weed will be horsetail which is an ancient spore bearing primitive plants that would be at home with the dinosaurs. It is very difficult to control in the garden. ‘Real’ marestail. Be persuaded to use sodium chlorate because of th...

Roger Brook - the no dig gardener: Consequences of herbicide contaminated grass and manure
http://www.nodiggardener.co.uk/2015/07/consequences-of-herbicide-contaminated.html
Roger Brook - the no dig gardener. Wednesday, 22 July 2015. Consequences of herbicide contaminated grass and manure. Contaminated compost and manky manure. This year-old composted municipal waste might still be toxic to young tomatoes. Tomatoes are particularly sensitive and the chemicals are an acute danger to seedlings and young plants. Even from seemingly innocent sources - you might contaminate your soil. The manure might be contaminated from its straw content or the actual droppings. Is the very bes...

Roger Brook - the no dig gardener: Using glyphosate (4)
http://www.nodiggardener.co.uk/2012/11/using-glyphosate-4.html
Roger Brook - the no dig gardener. Friday, 30 November 2012. Using glyphosate to eliminate weeds from an overgrown plot before. Making a new garden. If you have not been reading my previous posts it may be best to press these links now. Glyphosate maths for dummies. The village plot is owned by the village community. It was the site of alms houses demolished thirty years ago. Clearing Seaton Ross village plot. Five years ago the plot was a vigorous stand of ground elder, bindweed, couch and much more....

Roger Brook - the no dig gardener: Can you use ‘Roundup’ in Winter in the UK?
http://www.nodiggardener.co.uk/2013/12/can-you-use-roundup-in-winter-in-uk.html
Roger Brook - the no dig gardener. Sunday, 8 December 2013. Can you use ‘Roundup’ in Winter in the UK? Yes, you can use glyphosate in Winter…. Even though it sometimes says on the pack that you can’t - and its uses are. More limited than in Summer. Readers of my regular glyphosate posts know that I use this herbicide all the year round. Apologies to them, they might want to skip this one! Many gardeners ask this question and usually get a confusing answer - so here is mine! Exclusively so; they might be ...
