We all know that lime helps prevent the dreaded Club Root,but not everyone knows that weeds like Shepards Purse and flowers like Stocks and Wall flowers are highly susceptable to this nasty infection.

So clear your plot of these plants and weeds on sight. :wink:

Please read my other tips and hints on the link below :wink:

It might not be organic but for once even the most oganic on the forum might be at least a little jealous.

To me its better than the dreaded CR. :lol:  :wink:

True. And there are another 2000+ plants that can carry it, including strawberries. :lol:

I have a nasty creeping weed with tiny blue flowers on it.  The time has come to swallow my pride and ask what this may be?

And would it be a club root spreader?

It's definitely speedy, and it's definitely a creeper. It seemed to grow very rapidly around June July and then calmed down a bit later on but I get a feeling it will be back next year.
