My Dear Uncle decided he needed to kill the weeds on his lawn so bought
a weed killer, without checking what exactly it was of course. So he
sprays it over a big patch of the yard, a few times. Then starts
wondering why all plant life in that area is dying.
So he checks the package and of course this is a very strong plant
killer, one that's not selective to what it kills. He now has a
grass-less hole of plant death in a prominent part of his yard.
In desperation to fix his yard he calls for help. His son suggested he
put some new soil in and take out some of the contaminated soil. Not
wanting to do that much work yet he starts seeding the spot with grass.
Seventy dollars worth of seeds later the patch is still not grown but
his yard is not popular with animal life, if not plant life. He now has a
few squirrels, two chipmunks, and a slew of birds waiting for their
daily dinner of seeds.
We'll see how long till he gets the new soil.
