    Sweetmans looks good.
    The cornflakes talk should be tolerable enough after I have consumed that lot.

    Just outside kilcullen there is a horse Stud where over the years they dumped old horse bedding. Result is dense nettles.

    Its a waste of time IMO because you won't get them all, and the remnants will sprout and soon become just as thick as they ever were.
    Roundup is the answer; use in a dry spell, late spring or summer. The butterflies won't thank you though, for taking their food supply.

    I think they are being dug up for transplanting as corncrake cover.
