    You depart with mighty boasts, but you come back having done little.
    Sounds like a typical hunting trip !

    I think Budlier.
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out

    No problems if you are out hunting in goat country & see some it is worth checking out as goats love it & unlike other weedy growths their heavy grazing does little damage to it .Just one Fowering arm of the bush can produce 40000 seeds with a germination rate of around 80% .it is huge problem in America in states with similar climates to ours like Washington State etc .

    The stuff we had on the farm was a waste of time spraying & you could not pull it as it just snaps off & only spreads itn more ,so we had to resort to the back breaking & time consuming cut & paint the stump with concentrated glyphosate etc .They seed so easily & so profically they now recommend you immediately bag up any heads etc .
