Harry I tried viegar on liverwort but it didnt work - so far. I put 250ml of vinegar in 5L of water and sprayed the back yard where liverwort and moss grow between the paving blocks. Do you use it straight from the bottle?

I presume you would have to be very careful not to spray the vinegar solution on plants.  See the MSDS sheet for Econsense Weed Killer here:

It acts as a top killer much like paraquat.

Harry,
Your new website is absolutely wonderful - new trips and the plants in the garden.

That bites! These roots will fill the hole trough in which I planted a beautiful
coloured Callianthemum, acquired from Harry Jans!

I am about to enjoy this new website, but first...
This must surely be a contender for best callianthemum... one of many from the garden of a superb local alpine gardener!  (Photos taken with permission on a recent garden visit.)
