Gardeners are being urged not to use weedkillers this spring after an expert's stark warning
Gardeners are being urged to refrain from using weedkillers over the next two months following a stark warning from an expert. The sight of weeds sprouting between paving slabs or invading lawns can be distressing, especially when one has invested time and effort into maintaining their garden.
This is concerning given the vital role these creatures play in our food chain, and with UK insect numbers reportedly down by 60 percent in the past two decades alone, the impact could be significant. If insect populations are decimated, food production could be affected due to the lack of pollinators.
