      Ummm glad I save as many seeds as possible and obtain seeds from others that do the same.

          Monsanto made/makes lots of money from Roundup herbicide. With Glyphosates days being numbered, maybe its not a bad time for them to bail out!

            It's obviously wrong for one company to have that much clout in the market. This is Globalisation that people don't want!
            Maybe, if we do actually Brexit, then our seeds regulations can change back towhat they were, and seed sellers such as Real Seeds and the HSL won't be under attack, then.

                  I went to a Horticultural Trade fair yesterday, I chatted to the people on the Bayer stand, they told me they are stopping making Provado Wine Veevil killer as it's just too expensive to re-licence every few years.

                      I know I'm going off on a tangent here - but is the human body compostible ?

                      I've always thought it would be a great idea to have the remains of a loved one used in a way to provide further life - rather than their ashes plonked in an urn.

                      I might Google this actually to see if this service is available/allowed.

                        Yes it is as long as it's not cooked.

                        They have sites for the forensic people where bodies are left to .........go back to nature......in various ways so that they can tell the different types of decomposition.

                        Up until quite recently the Japanese used human poo to fertilise their fields........
