Interesting. Will give a try. They invested my lovely palm and I gave it a brutal cut to save the plant.

I’ve had some success with onion & chilli brew with a drop of dish detergent. It doesn’t keep well though.

I'm pretty shit at gardening. I've killed bamboo before. Twice. There's no hope for me.

Killing bamboo is a highly marketable skill. You should start a side gig.
