24 Mar 2008 - Carshalton Lavender launches Adopt-a-Row scheme

Why we need your help!

The many rows of lavender on Stanley Road Allotments have been battling against persistent perennial weeds (mainly couch grass and bindweed) for many years and now need serious help.  We tried other options but concluded we must either spray every two years with a mild, permitted herbicide (glyphosate) or find enthusiastic and committed people to weed the rows thoroughly.  We hope the latter will prove effective for as much of the field as possible!
