    Painting on Roundup on Weeds

    Roundup works by having the plant draw it down to the roots, so it is important that you get the application rate correct - if you use a solution that is too strong, the leaves will die too fast, and the roots will survive to fight another day. If the weeds are very big, this process takes a...

    Would you buy Meat (labelled as Irish) from Aldi?

    The only "plant" that "produces" meat is grass. The plants you refer to are processors and packers. That the approval number of the plant is on the packaging tells you nothing of where the meat is sourced. It merely tells you that the work they do is carried out to Board Bia standards, and...

    Tiling mess

    Ask the shop who else has bought these tiles, and either you or the shop ask them if they have any of the grey tiles left over. If you changed the shade/colour of the paint it might make the tiles look less grey. Hope it works out for you. Don't let it spoil your Christmas !
