        It's full of sheep, they've eaten all the grass, brambles and nettles, yet they won't touch it:scratch:

        They just keep coming up to me and asking for Cardoon leaves:doh:

                    No, someone reported on here that they'd seen it off with saturating with Roundup, and then pouring what was left down the hollow stems.
