Lawn "Weed'n'Feed" dilution.
Hi all - does anyone know - or even has an inkling - what the actual dilution ratio is of those 'clip on your hose and spray' bottles is? It says on the bottle that it contains 2 litres and will spray 240sq.metres which to my mind is a stupid thing to say as you can't see how fast you are using it and how many steps you are taking! How many people have actually measured their lawns anyway? I would like to tip the neat solution out of the bottle and put it in my garden sprayer diluted with water - but make it too weak and it won't kill the weeds and make it too strong and you'll kill the grass as well!
Thanks - Martin.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
