That's something I'd not heard of. Too late to tell me know though. I left him years ago.


Sounds like the right decision MGM.  If only we could tell from the pretty outside what's lurking inside, just by looking  :sunshine:

The magic ingredient in rhubarb is most likely to be oxalic acid, but there is twice as much in spinach. Its only toxic in large quantities, no idea about its weed killing properties.
