    @Lizzie27 I have considered buying it, or part of it, but I think it is too big and would be too much of a liability for us, as you say. Still it's nice to daydream about extending the garden or turning it into a little park!

    Lots of things 'might' be carcinogenic. Used carefully, glyphosate has its uses.
    Did they not have a rather large law suit in America on glyphosate ,but in the uk it is still ok
    I never knew retirement would be so busy. :smile:

    @MrMow, yes they did but it was rather a very extreme example. Almost anything could kill you if you had enough of it.

    Our garden centre doesn’t stock it,  it has weed killer with ‘no glyphosate’

    I've worked out that the problem plant is Symphoricarpos albus, or Snowberry. It's really horrible for spreading and not a native plant at all. I might need to do some more research on invasive plants and see if I can get any help to get rid of it.

    Oh, commiserations @Mander, there's a lot of that on the verge where I walk most days and you're right, it does spread.
