I am in Ireland, the midlands, if that's a help?

Hi Zach

We have horses and dandelions are considered a danger as there's the possibility of them developing a mould which is extremely toxic to equines. At the moment they are taking over the paddocks, I have never seen them so bad. Having watched your video, I must try them. I'd love to know how to make coffee from them but that doesn't solve the problem for my poor horses though.

Thanks for trying to help.

Hi Galadriel, Paul and Michael.

Thanks so much for all your help. Definitely something to consider there. I really am into wildlife etc and particularly take great joy from my little smallholding. I'm not sure I'd be able for the scissors though! The nettle heap seems very interesting, I might try that and see what happens. And today I bought 3 baby ducks which we are hoping will help the situation eventually. You're all such a lovely helpful bunch.

Hi everyone

My garden/paddocks are currently over run with dandelions as we've had a dry weather spell and apparantely thats what makes the dandelions so plentiful. Can anyone advise how to get rid of them please. Is there a good product I can use. Picking them out by hand is not an option.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks so much for your advice. They are wearing me down, almost bought the "hard stuff" Friday! Have tried several of the old wives tales which didn't work and as I also work I just don't have enough time to devote to that system.

As far as I can make out William Sinclairs Growing Success range seems to be the best brand for permaculture and organic type gardening/farming? Do you find this? I am totally new to this way of life and could do with the advice.

Thanks very much much in advance.

Hi there

I am new to the group and have found some great posts here. I am having awful problems in my garden with slugs, for example they are burrowing their way into my daffodil stems so that the daffodils can't stand upright when they flower. I was going to try Advanced Slug Killer. Has anyone used it and how do you find it? I also work and have a large garden so I need something that's going to work. Feeling a bit disheartened at the moment. Thanks.
