"Not seen much blight recently, but box is a busted flush round here thanks to box moth. Spraying kills some caterpillars, but there are always more! I think it has several breeding cycles per year."
"Theres an app called '@Seek' by inaturalist that's very good for identifying weeds/ wildflowers."
"I've found Tryclpyr ( available as Garlon, Blaster.....) the most effective solution for ground elder. Killed large establish areas of it always with one application. "
"Looks like weed killer or scorched by fertiliser that hasn't been watered in"
"have they hosed it off using a hose pipe that has been laying out in the sun? At this time of year a hosepipe containing sitting water before the fresh stuff comes through can get pretty hot"
"Indeed, I was replying to Oliver who said it was the worst year he'd known for caterpillar."
"Box blit minimal, some frost damage.

" I'm thinking someone applied lawn fertlzer by hand very badly."
"That looks like box moth caterpillar not blight?"
"as Billy and Peter say but dont expect one treatment to get rid of it you might have to give it four or five goes over a coupple of years "
" it lookes very dry some of the plants at the side look like they could have been weed killed and all way round the edge a good water and a high nitrogen feed will sort the red thred out if that is what it is "
"Saw this one today, wasn't like that last week!"
