Cheers, Jenni, I’ve already started looking in garden centres, but haven’t sen any yet. I’m rather like your mother, I don’t like buying over the internet – I refuse to declare my card number as I don’t feel it’s safe! Also, I like to look for plants to see if there might be a promise of more than one in a pot, y’know, those that look as though they’re starting to divide etc so that I can get more for my cash. Regards

Och Aye, Jenni, there are lots – both granular and liquid. Evergreen 80 is one of the most familiar, it has a systemic weedkiller that kills broad leaf plants (whether they’re weeds or not), and a slow release fertiliser, but there are lots of copycat varieties (many of which are cheaper than E 80). One liquid version is GreenUp. Unfortunately they aren’t effective on slender leaf plants, that’s why they don’t affect grass, they just roll off the leaves – so no good against bluebells! I do have a box of granular ready for the winter treatment, but can’t remember what it’s called off the top of my head (and I’ll be blowed if I’m going to rummage around in a dark garage to find out now!) What I look for is a weedkiller/fertiliser and, if available, with a mosskiller mixed in too. I then compare the price against coverage rate between the competitive products on offer. Just a little tip: garden centres tend to be pricy for such products. You can often get the same stuff a lot cheaper in places like Woolies or Wilkinsons.

My escapade earlier in the year was my misguided belief that I could be a little more accurate with a Round Up spray gun. I killed the dandelions and plantains and had a lot of fun – improved the speed of my draw etc, (I’m a bloke!), but my aim wasn’t as good as I hoped! Needless to say, I shan’t be trying it again!
