why do people use Round Up, when weeds are about to seed!?

[shaggy1969]

Firstly a big thank you to you guys for the welcome back messages.I would be telling fibs if I said that I was glad

to be back and would much rather be back at home with my family....unfortunately love and comfort doesn't put

food on the table,so back to work it is...but your kinds messages helped take the edge off the reality of being back

overseas.

@ Jake I still haven't been able to open the files you posted of your farrowing pens mate.I can't seem to find my

adobe reader.....are there other ways to open the files guys? What are your plans for your gilts/sows whilst they are

in their gestation period mate,will they be separated or group housed?

@ David Yes mate our young un has got some beautiful fair hair,Ole Shaggy must have some pretty potent genes

whizzing around his body....and those captions crack me up.

I don't know but I see it all the time.More effective when the plants are young and certainly before they set seed.

Buffalo yesterday, Pa Daeng, Chanthaburi, about 3km from our home.

I have previously been chased when cycling by one from this herd, it came crashing through the scrub, fortunately making enough noise to give me warning and i set a new personal best for the next 150m, and heart took some time to calm down.

They can be quite quick over short distance.

I had a bright orange cycling shirt on that day, since known as my 'buffalo shirt'

We are on this road frequently - main road to the coast/beaches, and I'm always on the lookout, just in case

Yesterday 18 of them had left their field and were both sides of the road, and few on the road as well. I waited till a few cars were there and went through 'sheltered' by a pickup truck.

Haven't noticed this method of planting before. They carry a tray of seedlings,pick the individual seedlings out then just throw them into the mud.
