That's very interesting. I assumed as it has a tiled roof that made it a permanent structure. Will see what can be done. Thanks for the response.

Thanks Yes I think I did see this in one ferementa (white bottle, green writing?) but they seemed to indicate it would kill just about everything. Do you have experience of using this under vines?
