A neighbour had tall bamboo planted along a driveway, causing no end of problems for me. Nearby garden beds were rendered unusable and concrete paths broken. I waited until they went on holidays, then killed the bamboo with a mixture of blackberry killer and used sump oil. It worked so well that...
There is a warning on the bags telling people to be careful. Always wear a mask and gloves when using bagged soil products due to the potential presence of Legionella bacteria.
Aldi has done this since they began. My local Coles introduced it 8 or so years ago because their trolleys were being left all over the suburb. The coin release stopped the trolley problem overnight.
My brother worked on an "organic farm" 30 or so years ago and caught them using some rather nasty pesticides on their produce. He dobbed them in and all that happened was he lost his job.

I am very happy with my $14 7 cup K Mart rice cooker, perfect rice every time. I also have a K Mart $15 mini rice cooker that only does up to 1.5 cups. Perfect for 2 people.
In August we added extra solar panels plus a battery and blackout protection. Since then we have had 4 blackouts, the longest being six hours, and had our power on thanks to the battery and blackout box. We also added a heat pump hot water system. Our power bill dropped by a third from that...
Our family's artificial Chrissy tree fell apart after some 30 years of service. It was never cleaned and we are all alive and healthy. If people are worried about their tree, throw it away every year then buy a new one. I see quite a few down at the tip every January.
