Well it even works on the other side of the Pacific!

Golf Courses are ideal places to use Cut'n'Paste

I thought I would take the time to drop you a quick line about Cut n Paste.

The greenstaff  here at Peninsula Golf Club have sucessfully using Cut n Paste to remove unwanted Paspalum grass and reeds throughout the golf course. We have been using Cut n Paste to remove Paspalum from our couch grass fairways. We carefully wipe the product onto Paspalum leaves and target kill off without seriously affecting the grass  underneath. As the Paspalum dies off the couch grass underneth can begin to grow susessfully with little or no damage.

Cut n Paste was convenient, saved time for maintenance staff because they could just act as and when there was a weed that needed to be dealt to.  That it was highly targeted on those nuisance course weeds.  Cut n Paste saved money because we did not have to invest time and resources into expensive chemicals which may require a follow up application. Staff could treat weeds as and when they identified them. 

We now sucesfully use  CutnPaste because I wanted a safe low toxicity product and with the applicator brush was easy to use.  CutnPaste fits this criteria of being low cost and easy to use and with the addition of blue dye is now visible for the green staff to know where they have been.  We are mainly targeting paspalum and results are noticed within 7 day period of time with the plants wilting and dieing.  

As an added extra Cut n Paste  will also deal with all the other nuisance weeds around the course, the gorse, wooly nightshade, paspalum and reeds have all been controlled sucessfully.

LandManLimited also produced Bureeeze Pure and natural burns cream

Burneeeze has been formulated by a nurse with many years experience in treating burns and skin ulcers.  It is amazingly effective in preventing scarring from burns and for substantially reducing the healing time.  Burns treated with Burneeeze heal more quickly, scar less and feel better quickly.

Burneeeze is available in jars for $25 plus $4.50 postage and packing nationwide for up to 8 times.

Treat the burn as normal with fast heat reduction with ice and cold water until all the heat is out of the burn then apply Burneeeze to the burn and keep the burn cool.  Reapply every four hours for the first day then daily until the burn feels healed.

Organic Coconut Fatty Acids weedkiller compared with Cut'n'Paste

Most organic weedkillers are only able to burn off the foliage of pest plants.  Coconut fatty acids for instance are used in organic spays and are able to rapidly dessicate leaves but have little of no systemic effect on the root system of the plant which will regrow.  The toxicity is low for birds and mammals.  

"However, Potassium salts of fatty acids are relatively selective in toxicity based on the insect species and stage of development. Soft bodied insects such as aphids, whiteflies, and mealy bugs are more susceptible to desiccation. The least affected are flyingadult insects with more durable  exteriors, such as ladybird beetles. However, insects in the immature, flightless stage ofdevelopment are more vulnerable to this active ingredient."

Coconut fatty acids are also quite high to aquatic invertebrates

"Potassium salts of fatty acids are highly toxic to aquatic invertebrates. The LC50 was determined to be 0.57 ppm in a 48-hour acute toxicity study with Daphnia magna. The EPA requires all product labels containing this active ingredient to state that the product is not to be applied directly to water and the user is not to contaminate water bodies by cleaning equipment"

The MSDS of commonly used Coconut fatty acid for roadside spraying  states toxicity ratings of 6.3A, 8.3A, 9.1C.  In comparison the glyphosate used in Cut'n'Paste with a 9.1D (lower toxicity than 9.1C) toxicity rating is only slightly toxic to aquatic organisms and being in a gel form is unlikely to have any effect on insect larvae, soil or water organisms.  

One wonders about the wisdom of using organic weedkillers for roadside spraying under the impression that they are less toxic and therefore present less risk to the environment.
