There’s excitement among gardeners and especially growers of alpines since it was announced in Amateur Gardening that Monsanto are to launch a gel version of their famous Roundup weedkiller.  I may be wrong but I don’t think this has been done before.

Good news from Scotts is that their systemic insecticides BugClear Ultra and BugClear Ultra Gun now have approval for use on a range of edible crops including apples, pears and plums.  With the new label you will see you can easily control aphids on lettuce and whitefly on tomatoes.
