Subject: RE: BS: Early Signs of Spring - northern hemisphere
Talking of 'rhodies', does anyone know how they sterilise the ground around them, which prevents other plants growing? Is it due to their leaves decomposing or is it something their roots put into the ground? Here in Eire & also the UK, much time, effort & money is spent in trying to eradicate them from conservation areas as they completely take over areas and significantly alter the biodiversity!
