Gardeners will be familiar with the title of this post, and with the new Blitz planned on eradicating the alien species, a start could be made now. I noticed the Himalayan balsam seed is germinating nicely all over the place. Behind the old gasworks site has a profusion of double leaves that could be easily eradicated, by one man in 10 minutes with a sprayer of round up or similar. To that end, I have sent an email with photo to John Fraser in the hope that he will eradicate this small area. It was mid January that Mr Frasers men spent several days chopping the roses and shrubs that harboured the small birds. All that's needed this time is one man for 10 minutes with a sprayer, surely better than 4 men later in the year tackling 6 feet high balsam !
