No more worries for those cute deer plant eater.

They might rather discharge it rather than having to heave them away. You can also inquire at your local government for the woods they’ll be disposing of.

Weed killers are as expensive and toxic as pesticides. Try an alternative solution, which can be made from products inside your kitchen.

The chances of survival for your organism are better on the autumn’s cooler temperature (it’s also easier for you) because the soil is still warm that can allow the roots to grow before the ground freezes.
