Plant growth - what the ...?

I've been helping a mate keep on top of weed growth on some waste land. In previous years it's been pretty manageable with a scythe and some weed killer, but this year the plants are HUGUE! :shock:

What's happening? Extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere? Higher rainfall? Warmer weather? All of these?

Are the triffids coming...? :)

    It was not vapor. It was a cloud of seeds, floating, so infinitely light they were, even in the rarefied air. Millions of gossamer-slung triffid seeds, free now to drift wherever the winds of the world should take them. It might be weeks, perhaps months, before they would sink to Earth at last, many of them thousands of miles from their starting place.
    That is, I repeat, conjecture. But I cannot see a more probable way in which that plant, intended to be kept secret, could come, quite suddenly, to be found in almost every part of the world.

    Very informative reading when it comes to weed cultivation :wink:

    It takes 3 seasons to get rid of weeds by constant weeding.

    Why don't you strim regularly - then the grass will take over?
