    I'm Ready to Scream! more post #12, Grapic pics post #13

    I'm sorry for your loss CCG. Everything bad does seem to hit at once and when you hit that final straw you just loose it, usually all over the poor, idiot slob who screwed up. When we built our home I purposely faced the dining room window toward a huge creosote bush (desert bush) it is very...

    HELP Commercial weed killer sprayed in raised bed area

    Yes, this is her only spot. I was thinking the same way. Veggie roots don't go so deep that they would actually grow down 8" and through the cardboard. I just didn't want to take a chance advising her to do it without consulting everyone here first.
