John it will grow more or less anywhere and I find it gets the better of netles,just dig up a good lump of root, push a spade into the ground move it around then drop the root in were the spade has been job done ,be warned it spreads.
All the best Steve |

I would go for Hemp Agrimony, good to see it alive; it’s all been sprayed with weed killer on our local common.

Err...why would anyone, other than a yoghurt, spray out hemp agrimony? It's lovely.....and huge invertebrate-magnet.
