Hi,

We have now moved down SW, whereby we have a lot of Weeds to deal with, I know the Nettles - but could someone please advise if this sticky weed is Cleavers, as I need to get rid of it as it is overgrown and we would d rather see it cleared.

I wish I could, but we have to use handheld in the temporary accommodation, as never had this issue previously since adding sheep grazing to our own property.
Plus, do not think the landlady would be happy if I ran around the garden with a boom sprayer :D

How big is the garden? Grazon comes in bottles covering several acres, PasTor in 5ac packs.

I guess that officially, assuming you don’t have a holding number now(?), you won’t be able to use ‘professional’ products, leaving you with diluted squash from the garden centre.:(

The garden is about 1/2 acre,

Still have holding number as old home not sold yet, and please correct me if I am wrong, but as far as I know (been trained) - the law does not state you need holding number to use proff chems, only the required certs etc, which I have?
