Poll question: So I live in an apartment complex
and the landscaping sucks bad.

One of the flower beds is entirely agapanthus, which is the shittiest plant ever.

Would it be wrong to go get a shitload of roundup and nuke all the agapanthus and plant something NICE there? :shrug:

(And just to put it in context, other tenants have shit like tomatoes and geraniums and stuff growing outside in the beds.)

1. Um, I just noticed you said NUKE with ROUNDUP. . .
Er, my vote means yes plant something NICE there.
Dunno about nuking with Roundup.
Doesn't seem very pure protect the earth behavior.

3. I feel the same way. "YES" to the new plants, "NO" to the BigCorp™ poison.

2. Think you could have worked a couple more "shits" into this post?
Anyway, I like agapanthus, so don't fuck with it! ;)

6. I got a post removed for that kind of thing
in pictorial form.

Now only a post is in the ground (she wrote quickly to cover her self)

It was all Lefty Mom's fault.

It does have its place though and Xemasab makes good use of it in this post in my opinion.

5. You are only evil for wanting to use Round Up.
Seriously that stuff bad news. Maybe you could give them a lethal dose of ferts. Make a nice strong organic tea from fish emulsion. You can get Alaska fish fert for like $5 a bottle at Lowes or Home Depot. This way the over ferted soil will at least be flushed and clean after the next rain or two.

15. It's southern California
1) The soil is naturally nutrient poor, and fertilizers will kill what I want to plant there.

2) I think if I am hoping for a few good rainstorms, I may be in for a long wait.

:hi:
