The landlord (my uncle) had a new extension built on our porch. Now the stairs turn 90 degrees and go down right to the driveway, which I like as it makes it a bit easier for me to get out.. However, in just 2 weeks two big bushes of weeds have popped up and part of one of them was partially blocking the end of the stairs down. Ysa and most any able bodied person could easily go around this. Me, not so much as the hand rail which I require is only on that side of the stairs. I wouldn't mind so much.. it's just some weeds.. but they have A LOT of seeds that stick to everything. I would rather not spend 5 minutes picking seeds off me each time I go out..
I tried to poison the weed with vinegar, but that didn't do anything. I considered burning the bush, but fear of burning down the deck and house by accident wasn't appealing to me. :P I decided, spur of the moment, to simply move the offending 'limbs' of the weed and saw that we had lots of scrap wood lying about on the ground (not the stacked ones, the ones already cut and thrown to the side) so I used one long piece as dead weight to hold the weed there. It worked nicely. yay! :)
