Default Do you poison your garden?

Private gardens make up a significant proportion of green spaces in cities and provide a refuge for wildlife. If we did not resort to chemical warfare - using pesticides and weed killers then we could make a big difference.

Do you poison your garden?

I love poison in the garden! I have hellebore, and digitalis, and daffodills. I've grown belladonna, and nicotiana.

I prefer pulling out my weeds, and keeping a mixed lawn (grass & clover & crocus and some weeds).

No, we don't use chemicals at all.

This is a great site to show you how to avoid chemicals naturally.
