[leave a comment] - 2007 Knotweed Bash, Folkestone Warren @ the Little Switzerland cafe (Wed 6 Jun 2007) Pulling the invasive Alien - Japanese Knotweed from several areas in Folkestone Warren. Meet 10.15 at the Little Switzerland Cafe, off Wear Bay Road, Folkestone.PLEASE BRING REFRESHMENTS.
[leave a comment]- RE:To all concerned with Knotweed Pulling - be very careful. You may well increase the spread of the plant by pulling it out of the ground. It is not a recognised method of control. Not wanting to dampen the enthusiasm of the local community, but trust me when I say BE CAREFUL!! There are much more effective methods of control and if pulling is to be done it would need to be done for a number of years (10+) to be effective. There are also legal issues regarding the transportation and disposal - philrusted

[leave a comment]- Oof, just deleted the whole siteTrying to save a bit of disk space, just erased everything, hope I am recovering it OK... Terry Jones was good last night at the Literary Festival, though he was rushing a bit, think he was trying to squeeze too much material into a truncated time slot. He did do a few Pythonesque things including telling us someone was a "very naughty boy". I forget who now, maybe Richard III. Got a book signed by him (Terry Jones, not Richard III), and also Roy Hattersley. Not the same book. Terry Jones si -
