longboat Apr 2011 4:54pm, 4 Apr 2011 1,990 posts	0 longboat Trying to resist getting too stuck into the garden this side of VLM - grass cut and front raked/back spiked last weekend
Drell Apr 2011 4:56pm, 4 Apr 2011 888 posts	0 Drell After this weekend there's a lot less ground elder in my garden than there was before. There's still a lot there though. Why does gardening consist mostly of removing biomass?
