NRA & Noxious Weeds Act

Magpie! · 2008-08-17 09:45:10

Doing a bit of driving around the country the last month. On the M1 and the N/M 4 and I noticed the roadsides are rotten with bothalans/ragwort. I spent half my childhood pulling the bastarding yokes out of fields at home (and the other half picking stones and footing turf - child labour FTW) so I nearly break out in hives…

Are the NRA not responsible for cutting them?

local authorities should remove. however, they don't. It's hell pulling them out and I know what tis like as well.

one of these in seed would multiply perhaps a thousandfold.

I think that we should have a massive removal campaign, where everyone in the country would pull them out the same week. Like the nit campaigns in school!
