pages home why i blog about roger brook sunday, 10 june 2018 are nettles really taking over our roadside verges? and what we can do about it? umbellifers in nitrogen rich ground a scientist has proposed that excess plant nutrient nitrogen is released by car exhausts and its build up in roadside verges encourages coarse weeds such nettles, brambles and hogweed. the popular press has mangled this story and it is now received knowledge that this is a national crisis. nettles have had a sudden image transformation from the darlings that ‘every garden should have them’ to being coarse monsters that outgrow the wild flowers. i suggest that we should concentrate on car exhausts because they might be killing us all and not to worry too much about the nettles. delightful coarse growing vegetation i am sorry to return so soon to the confusion between weeds and wildflowers and that frequently they are one and the same. only in my last post i marvelled at how dandelions and buttercups had returned to roadside verges since we desisted from herbicide spraying. the new opinion is that this transformation might be not be so desirable and invading coarse weeds such as dandelions are a bad thing. or have i got it wrong and dandelions and buttercups are good and only nettles and hogweed are bad? dare i suggest that any so called weed is alright as long it is in the right place. pain at first. i have sprayed a three metre length of verge to kill brambles, nettles, ragwort and couch. i will encourage fine grass, buttercups and dandelions to replace them. no one explains that any coarse weed problem has in truth arisen with the reduction of spraying and even less likely that you will be told that intelligent directed spraying might be the remedy. it might surprise you i do not advocate this! the dead hand of bureaucracy that indiscriminately sprayed in the first place is incapable of sensitive roadside plant management now. i do not of course reject inspired herbicide management under local control lovely, but ragwort is deadly to animals if it seeds into grazed fields i became alerted to this perceived problem when half listening to john humphreys as i invariably do when writing my blog. as so often with scientists (and gardeners) he was not the rottweiller he is with dissembling politicians but was in his pussycat mode. he can be a mixture of amused confused condescension and fawning acceptance of a scientist’s crackpot ideas (and especially so if nonsense is uttered by some high profile media gardener). in this case the news item had already been garbled by the newspapers and the scientist himself when he brought the problem of nitrogen run off from farm fields into the equation. confusion between nitrogen pollution and high soil fertility here the roadside is probably infertile and this legume thrives because it fixes its own nitrogen it is fashionable these days to create infertility by removing vegetation to make gardens and landscapes amenable to wild flowers. i have no difficulty with this and admire wonderful wildflower meadows that have been so created. it still however goes against the grain for me personally when all my instincts are to create healthy soil as a result of sound soil management. it would be pie in the sky to expect motorway verges to be like this i see everywhere gardener’s zealously making a nitrogen rich store of goodness by way of making garden compost and delighting in how it makes plants healthily grow. in contrast it is now sometimes wrongly perceived as environmental pollution for farmers to create fertile sites ‘that takes years of endeavour to extinguish’ to me it is good for mankind that soil can retain its organic fertility and nutrient store for quite a long time. it’s not even that fertile soil as such is bad for wildflowers. it's just that the nettles grow so much better and smother them. i believe that there is potential for gardening methods that will grow wildflowers without denuding the soil. old gardeners would tell you that overgrown allotments with luxuriant nettles might be hard work at first but have wonderful potential. let us not solely ‘blame’ nitrogen for long lasting soil fertility. indeed the very different problem of nitrogen pollution arises from the high solubility of nitrate when it washes away. the most long lasting soil nutrient is phosphate which in many soils after two hundred years of farming with fertiliser is too high. major nutrients such as potash have varying soil retention depending for example whether it is sandy or clay. do we have a problem on roadside verges? no problem here with sensitive infrequent mowing i don’t doubt that car exhausts might be a source of extra nitrogen. i do doubt that it is sufficient to matter in other than areas of very dense heavy traffic. i did notice on my recent trip to liverpool that they had plenty of examples of nettle rich verges. very much less so along the m62 motorway where in places coarse colourful vegetation such as dog daisies, buttercups, campions, umbellifers and a little earlier in the season dandelions, were lovely. central motorway edges were somewhat devoid of vegetation other than grass. i would suggest that most of the landscape reflected levels of management - mainly mowing - rather than exhaust pollution. the trees lining the m62 on that recent spring day were strong and verdant. nitrogen is essential for healthy plant growth and motorways are generally constructed with spoil rather than soil. perhaps a little extra nitrogen has been a good thing? do any extra nutrients alongside roads come from agriculture and elsewhere? in the countryside i am sure extra nutrients spill in from farm fields some surely must where ground is higher and soluble nitrates leach and phosphate rich soil erodes down. leaves from trees blow and alight and even create organic rich pockets. in terms of plant growth the diverse habitats created might be a good thing. salting of roads has certainly favoured salt loving wildflowers to spread from the seaside. what to do about it? it was when the mad scientist (i might yet eat these words) suggested ‘solutions’ to his perceived problem. he fell back on the idea of removing fertility on roadsides by mowing and carting vegetation away. how much would that cost? how much extra carbon dioxide would be created with extra machinery and transport. what on earth might we do with that extra vegetation. our amateur composts might become even greater rubbish than now. what about the extra roadside pollution created? posts prevent parking (and allows wild flowers to grow) it’s alright to want delicate wild flowers to grow in favoured roadside habitats. it is wonderful to delight in rare plants alongside country roads and in serendipitous habitats accidentally arisen. let real local native vegetation thrive in the verges and hedgerows and let us do what we can to conserve it. but don’t expect to achieve tracts of of feeble yet lovely wild vegetation along busy roads. roadside fertility might not be such a bad thing i do not believe that the way forward is to reduce general roadside fertility. we need strong growing stabilising vegetation and all the better that the buttercups are beautiful. even 'alien' invaders here in derbyshire countryside stabilise the verges i have written extensively about cathi’s grass verge which borders our country road that carries perhaps 200 lorries a day that fly by. their trajectory veers when they meet oncoming traffic. i am grateful to coarse grass, silverweed and buttercups for constantly growing back where the edges erode. (i hasten to add only about a metre in my case, the rest is fine grass and flowers) i am grateful that coarse vegetation quickly grows back when lorries cut up the edge links i reviewed the lovely book 'wild flowers on the edge' i wrote about corn marigolds on the edge of a farm field confusion between weeds and wild flowers posted by roger brook at 08:03 reactions: 2 comments: links to this post email this blogthis! share to twitter share to facebook share to pinterest friday, 1 june 2018 blame the operator not the weedkiller bee bum plant for bumblebees but it is damned as a weed! in my recent post about the excellent new book from the bumblebee trust they repeated the mantra about not using insecticides and herbicides in your garden if you want to encourage bumblebees. i have no problem with the damning of insecticides in this context. after all insecticides are designed to kill insects and their indiscriminate and ignorant use can be a disaster for bees. in my own gardening i only rarely use insecticides. only twice in the last 12 months and that was on house plants! it's the lumping together of herbicide and insecticide that provokes my ire although i cannot promise no weedkiller exists that poisons bees, herbicide toxicity to animals is extremely rare and all readily available weedkillers are extremely safe. (orders of magnitude safer than the garden machinery you regularly use) this is not the public image of these useful gardening aids. indeed the word ‘weedkiller’ is almost synonymous with ‘poison’. only exceeded by ‘ratkiller’. the latter is particularly ironic as the principal ingredient of most common rat and mouse killers is the warfarin of medical use. verbena seeds itself all over and to some gardeners is a weed the ignorant are frequently surprised that my glyphosate managed gardens are so rich in wildlife. the even more ignorant expect my gardens to be sterile. i claim without blushing that my gardens are ecological richer than most. it’s what you do with things that causes the problems undoubtably weedkiller in the wrong hands can do considerable harm. how much ecologically richer are our roadside verges and hedgerows since they are no longer sprayed. in contrast sensitive use of weedkillers can be used to create beautiful landscapes of flowers as i do. spray out the nettles and wildflowers can grow as a small example a landowner i used to work for who was renowned for his beautiful acres of wild flower meadows would in his own words ‘spray out the nasties’ using mcpa or 24d to spot treat and kill such as nettles, thistles and hogweed. in their place the wildflowers grow fools jump in almost any gardening or agricultural practice can be maliciously and harmfully used. how innocuous are agricultural drains but they can be used to destroy wetlands. the chain saw is a useful tool but look what it has done. there is good and bad in ploughing, digging and most soil cultivations. mow the buttercups later even the mower is regularly destructively used. yesterday (may 10) we drove over the wolds to filey and marvelled at the beautiful nectar rich dandelions at the roadside. on the way back we passed council workers mowing them down. public image of herbicides in the public mind weedkillers are toxic - literally so. i deny this. the world has gone mad when it seeks to outlaw ‘roundup’ the safest pesticide ever invented. simple things reinforce public misinformation. for example that wretched lovely toxic weed ragwort. farmers fear it because when dead it is highly palatable yet deadly. when for this reason the uninformed read that animals need to be kept out of sprayed fields they deduce that the same mcpa, 24d and similar, will poison pets on their lawns. cathi is concerned that in her own verge such ragwort will spread to her fields as an aside i might mention that i recently posted about spraying out nettles in cathi’s field. when the nettles went yellow and died her soay sheep devoured them with great gusto. i understand nettles are very nutritious. the sad thing about roundup is that it is damned for what it is meant to do - kill weeds. it does what ‘it says on the tin’ and does it superbly. with this comes all of the advantages of minimum cultivation, maintenance of soil fertility, organic matter and worms. worldwide million of tons of carbon stay in the ground as a result of the enlightened soil management it enables. and yes some of those weeds are wildflowers. surely the way forward is to benefit from the high yields facilitated by good weed control and set agricultural land aside to grow nectar rich pollinators and in so many other ways encourage nature bindweed makes a distinct white honey flight of fancy sweet and toxic writing these words set be thinking as to how many real agricultural and garden weeds actually produce copious nectar and/or pollen. if anything is to justify weeds displacing crops, genuine wild flowers and pollen rich garden plants it would be useful to know. of course if something is desirable it is not a weed by definition! perhaps you should consider growing these sugary morsels? dandelions. if these were difficult to grow everyone would want them! although most dandelions set seed vegetatively without fertilisation they do produce generous nectar and are much visited by bees. they are very easy to grow. himalayan balsam. banned in the countryside it produces so much honey that it is for obvious reasons affectionately known by countrymen as the bee bum plant. (its head is down slurping the flowers). extraordinarily beautiful it will take over your garden. brambles. i grow a wonderful seedless blackberry. one plant satisfies all our culinary needs. why not go the whole hog and do nothing and in five years your garden will be five foot high brambles - in my view britain’s worst weed but good for the bees. ragwort. bees love this beautiful aggressive weed that might grace your garden. pity the honey might be poisonous epilobium. this seed born perennial weed is the bane of my life. fail to control it and it will give the brambles a fair run to take over your garden. nectar and pollen rich it makes a nutritious honey epilobiums are the bane of my life (but not for bumblebees) let creeping thistle creep five metres a year into your garden and the bees will love you. not so your neighbours inundated by seed your epilobiums won't make you popular either i see it now, if you want to encourage bees don’t use weedkiller and grow weeds! talk about flight of fancy. last weekend alwys fowler, tongue in cheek, suggested that gardeners eat japanese knotweed to death and also observed it makes excellent honey. she added the mandatory rider of course you would not eat it if it had been sprayed. nor would i. (but it would do me no harm) links i have written before about the blurring of wild flowers and weeds at jervaulx abbey they imaginatively grow real weeds on the masonry (but spray out the nettles) posted by roger brook at 08:36 reactions: 2 comments: links to this post email this blogthis! share to twitter share to facebook share to pinterest friday, 25 may 2018 an exciting new book about bumblebees ‘bumblebees, an introduction’ top bee cathi-next-door runs yorkshire publishing and frequently passes on new publications. their self published books are ideal for new authors. no stressful submissions and when no one else will accept them new authors can still have had a go. bee book not that any rejection applies to the bumblebee trust with their modest little title, ‘bumblebees, an introduction’, it flies off the shelf and its current print run has nearly gone. fantastic pictures no wonder. its writers love bumblebees, write with authority and everything is evidence based. their is no dumbing down and yet the book provides masses of easily absorbed information. packed with beautiful photographs it enables you to identify all 24 uk species and learn much about them.it reports some bumblebee’s decline but also brings several good news stories. although some populations show serious decline and are endangered it was some relief to me that only two british native species have been lost. ten fascinating facts about bumblebees buy the book and read more. 'dangle bee' unlike honey bees many bumblebee queens at first forage to provide for their first born. these first workers are smaller than those born from subsequent egg laying when the queen retires to her bed. bees evolved from carnivorous wasps about 130 million years ago (bumblebees 40 million). they co-evolved with the rise of flowering plants bumblebees are able to collect nectar and pollen at as low as 10 degrees centigrade which is about 4 degrees less than honeybees. as a consequence they are active for more months of the year, are out for longer hours and in more inclement weather bumblebee’s hairy coats help them keep warm they shiver to keep themselves warm. they are able to temporarily detach their powerful wing muscles and vibrate them. the same vibration enables ‘buzz pollination’ thousands of species of plants produce pollen enclosed in their anthers. the buzz of the bee releases the pollen to fall on the flower’s stigma and/or cover the bee with pollen which is transported elsewhere. cuckoos, we love them or hate them. their machiavelian ways are part of nature’s rich pattern. five british native species of ‘cuckoo bumblebee’ behave the same and deposit eggs in the nests of other bumblebee species. no need to produce their own workers. sadly when 14th century human european colonisers took common diseases to south america as a consequence millions of the indigenous population died. so too with bees when foreign bumblebees were imported to south america together with their parasites. ‘the big seven’. this is the name ‘bumblists’ (or whatever you call them) give to the most established secure british native species of bumblebee bumblebees harvest nectar and pollen which they comb into their baskets. for them it is a valuable nutritious resource. enough pollen covers their furry bodies to pollinate plants. (10a) from the tropics to the arctic bumblebees are found everywhere! peppered with pollen what can the gardener do to encourage bumblebees? i am tempted to say ‘get a bigger garden’ in these days of pocket handkerchief gardens paved down for parking the bumblebee trust rightly point out how gardens are a very rich resource for bees. i might add far richer than most farm fields although there are tremendous opportunities for enlightened farmers to make ecological provision. 'spider bee'? the book has a very helpful chapter on how the gardener can cater for bees and makes a fair stab at gardening methods such as sowing wild flower meadows and the rather different gaudy stands of annual plants. some readers will remember that having last year abandoned vegetables i indulge in ‘throw and grow’ on my old vegetable plot! bee bed i do not believe that you should turn your garden around to cater for wildlife. grow what you like but perhaps amend your methods. by all means choose nectar rich plants - lavender gets a warm mention. vegetables in a way makes my point. by all means grow them, most of them flower and some are nectar rich. but don’t be too tidy. why not let your brassicas complete their life cycle and flower! being untidy to me is not an excuse to grow weeds. (although if you want weeds i recommend verges of dandelions and in a border the dreaded bumblebee plant - better known as himalayan balsam. there is a lovely yellow impatiens which is just as invasive but has not yet been damned in the media) bumblebees love ver b ena garden chemicals the book quite correctly damns excess - or even any - insecticides and herbicides. this is too serious an issue for this ‘good news’ post today and i will discuss this in a separate post next week. bees love nectar and pollen rich trees doubts about mites i was interested to read about mites sometimes very clearly observed being carried by bumblebees. the bumblebee book states that these are not parasites but are beneficial residents of their nests hitching a ride facilitating their spread. this disturbed me as i have previously published a post ‘how to repair a bumblebee’ that links to a site that claims they weigh down the bumblebee and describes how to remove them. this is a problem for me when my posts stray out of my area of expertise, namely horticulture. i will add a sort of disclaimer on that original post and leave you to make your own conclusions. the bumblebee trust does describe how to restore a distressed bumblebee that has been unable to renew its energy resource of nectar when out foraging. either introduce it to a spoonful of dilute sugar or place it on a nectar rich flower bee on borage links the bumblebee trust website yps website previous posts nectar guide flight of the bumblebee the significance of worldwide decline in bees posted by roger brook at 07:18 reactions: 6 comments: links to this post email this blogthis! share to twitter share to facebook share to pinterest monday, 14 may 2018 how to control bindweed, convolvulus it is many gardeners worse weed but can be eliminated by a single carefully timed spray bindweed, if it was difficult to grow everyone would want it when i first wrote about killing bindweed the post reproduced below was tagged on at the end of a long boring post about glyphosate and no-one found it! unlike my posts about other distressing perennial weeds such as ground elder, mares tail, bramble and nettles which have been read thousands of times this post attracted no interest at all. to me that’s a shame as i think it is of value to numerous gardeners shame on kew when we visited kew a few years ago i photographed one of their dicentras covered in bindweed. no doubt brought in in imported soil, i cannot believe that in a few hundreds year they have they have otherwise failed to control it. it represented a typical beginners garden where any control of bindweed was limited to cutting the weed down and scrabbling away in the ground. i fear much gardening advice and product claims about ‘controlling weeds’ is at this level. such weeds continually regrow from week to week and season to season. when i write about eliminating perennial weeds i mean getting rid of them for ever. in the case of ground elder and worse, mares-tail, it might take a few years. not so bindweed. it is extremely sensitive to glyphosate and if a luxuriant intact plant is sprayed the weedkiller is translocated to its strong rhizome resource and kills it. contrast this with attempts to physically remove the underground ‘roots’. it always fails and the gardener merely propagates the weed. worse the weeds’ irregular regeneration inhibits future glyphosate use. i used to think that bindweed was just a perennial weed that once eliminated did not return from seed. peter williams tells me i am wrong. i suspect what happens is that although most gardeners suppress it with their constant weeding they never let it get so far as it flowering or if it does they pull it out in a panic. if you do really eradicate the weed using my methods with minimal care it will not normally return from seed. ironically the best time to completely kill bindweed with glyphosate is when it has just come into full flower. many gardeners will be impatient and if it grows strongly enough might get away with spraying as early as june. it is useless to zap a bindweed shoot as soon as it appears! let me emphasise. if you spray it today (early may) it has not grown enough and you will fail . if you scratch away at the roots at any time and do not allow time for every single convolvulus chopped 'root' make a strong top you will fail this is my original prose about controlling bindweed in steve's garden we made an unexpected visit to steven in folkestone. he has moved yet again! this time the house is built into a cliff on sandgate hill. formerly a very fine garden, children and boxer dog permitting it might be so again if we make enough visits! almost completely neglected for 18 months although full of fine plants, it is completely overgrown! the ten foot curtains of bindweed were absolutely magnificent. what a chance to put my money where my blogging mouth is. i have often enough said how easy it is to control bindweed given the right conditions and every time i metaphorically hear "this man is an idiot". i asked steven whether he wished to keep this lovely plant. he was rather decisive that he did not! everything was right for a speedy and definite kill. the bindweed was completely intact and growing luxuriantly. there had been heavy rain the previous night to perk it up even a bit more. now dry, it was a warm and sunny. even better it remained hot and dry for the rest of the weekend. in my opinion july is the very best time to kill bindweed. my weapon was a small, cheap but accurate hand sprayer. the exercise was to clamber through the steep garden spraying all the leaves of the bindweed without spraying the plants. amateurs excessively fear any spray might be misdirected onto their plants. it takes a most unskilled and careless sprayer to harm husky privet, ancient griselinia, ceanothus, hebe, any conifer and almost all large vigorous shrubs. you need to aim to cover at least 80% of the bindweed leaves. i managed 90% and made quite sure i did not miss a single weed. my spray was a strong one for me, 1 in 40, commercial 360g glyphosate to water - about three and a half uk teaspoons in my litre of water. hand sprayer £2.40 technique practice with pure water first. take the nozzle very close to the convolvulus leaf and gently pull the trigger. for the sprayer illustrated move the trigger only part of its travel. a complete pull in little stutters will separately spray several individual leaves. this will be the most skilled parts of the operation. all other variations in directing the spray will be quicker and easier. i had to be careful near the rose. the conifer hedge would be almost impossible to harm! usually the canopy of bindweed leaves will be make its own cover over a section of your plant. vary your direction of spray to wet them and not your plant! the bigger the cluster of bindweed, the speedier you can be. the convolvulus was so thick here i had to lift the draped curtain to reach more leaves below! usually bindweed binds very loosely! un-twirl little bundles and pull them away from the host and spray them. even in herbaceous borders you can do this if you gently pull out the clusters of bindweed away from your plants. wind a cluster round your hand (you might not be as confident as i am of the complete safety of glyphosate to use your bare hands) often the growth of the bindweed will help to make it easy and speedy to spray. if it clambers over soil, hard surfaces, walls, old ivy, or none-green shrubby stems it makes work very easy. great curtains tumbled down over some of steven’s walls. it was the work of a few seconds to spray tracts of a meter! great swathes tumbling down i had to be very careful where a few delicate plants grew under the shrubs and small trees. twice i needed to pull herbaceous perennials away from the overgrown shrubs. on one occasion i cursed when i sprayed a hidden day lily. it thanked me when i tore off the few contaminated leaves and it did not suffer at all. it is most important to tackle every single bindweed plant. in steven’s case i had to fight my way to and even beyond his boundary to get to all of the weed. i had to stretch to reach over the pond in the 300 square metres of garden there must have been at least a hundred vigorous clumps of bindweed. steven tells me that after a week they were completely yellow and were starting to shrivel. he will see them no more this year. i am completely confident that 90%of this bindweed will not appear again. the few plants i might have missed will be eliminated next year. it took me less than two hours for the complete operation. i needed one litre of diluted spray. was it my imagination that when we departed sunday lunchtime that this convolvulus growing over the jasmine was starting yellow wear your normal garden clothing when doing this work. you might wish to use waterproof gloves. remember not to grab desirable plants with wet hands! two further visits to steven’s garden we returned in october - to sort out the pruning. there was no sign of any bindweed whatsoever. there was some insignificant browning on a few of the shrubs. no more than that caused by a stiff wind or a touch of mildew and all easily pruned out. (actually as a result of the shrubs previously untamed nature massive amounts of vegetation were pruned away!) we returned the next june, eleven months after my original spraying. the only sign of bindweed was a a few strong shoots in a few very obscure places which i had previously missed. the following september steven and haley moved! last thoughts the method i have described works very well in shrubs and hedges and open ground. it is more tricky in herbaceous borders where your plants are more sensitive to misdirected application. it needs a little more care, especially early in the season when herbaceous perennials are particularly vulnerable. i find it works very well if you carefully twirl out handfuls of long bindweed shoots and spray each little bundle. even better if the still attached shoots can be teased away and laid on bare ground. regular readers will note i have abandoned my beloved knapsack sprayer for this weed the small hand sprayer is much better. all that trouble and yet at home i am growing this close relative ipomoea posted by roger brook at 07:14 reactions: 4 comments: links to this post email this blogthis!
