> Seed-Rotting Microbes Sought to Battle Weeds
Sounds like just another hare brained and potentially deadly dangerous new
invention. Sounds even worse than terminator genes! Do we realy need to kill
the planet before these idiots give up?
For me there are no weeds (we are eating nettle mash again this evening,
jummy) and is that microbe going to make a distinction between nettle seed
and wallnuts to name but one ?
They should lock those criminals away for ever.

I have to fight my SIL for a spider's life if it's in the house. He now lets me grab a towel to get it on and shake it out. I let him kill the large black widow that was on the bottom of the kitchen cabinets, though =(:-o Sincer he's also found brown widows taking up a home under the patio chairs. Too scary with so many little ones around.Amy of Marvelous GardensZone 10 or Sunset zone 23http://home.earthlink.net/~marvelousgardens/--- On Thu 05/11, Tony and Moira < tomory@XTRA.CO.NZ > wrote:It makes me think of the many people who stamp on entirerly harmless insects every time they see them just because they don't like the look of them.
