Roundup or equivalant

We're with you Rob.

Once our gardener brought an assistant who brought a gas weed eater. Not only was it loud and smelly, it didn't remove the weeds. Fortunately our gardener didn't use it again and all the weeds get pulled. After a fairly short period of time if weeding is done regularly, very few weeds are left!

NO POISON!!!

Yes, I used to be a gardener/lawn maintenance man back in another life. Always pulled the weeds by hand.

What a lot of folks forget is that one person's weed may be another critter's source of food or shelter. Iguanas like certain plants, different insects like others. Some "weeds" we use for medicine.

Plants like strangler figs (amate) can quickly damage homes if they start growing in one of your walls. When their figs mature bats eat them and deposit their seeds all over our home so I am constantly searching for them and other plants trying to take root in places where they shouldn't. If I can't get all the roots, the dry season usually takes care of the rest.
