Weeding out the meanings ... He’s back. Did we miss him? Of course we did, as no one juggles the English language quite
like our Loz. Here’s a selection from this summer of missed content!
It certainly changed the way we need to look at weed control in this country, especially with regard to controlling weed problems
Like most things in life things come and go
In the evening there was a gangsters and moles party
... his staffs are now quite proficient and skilled in the art of hedge laying
There is so much more to lean from the development of new products
... the last thing he wanted was to de- stable the pitch before a game
The amount of devoting time has been reduced dramatically ...
... we were required to plant over 3,500 sibling trees And this one is from Dave Saltman! Spending money like a fish!
