I would think that even taking your figures then a population increase of 200,000 a year is big.

| I just find them so much easier. If you've ever used an asda/asbo/azadaza or whatever they're called you'll understand. I think they loosen the soil which is goo for many plants' roots. |

I'd recommend a 2- or 3-pronged weeding hoe. Not this one, but one like it.

Time's not really an issue for me. If it takes me all day to do half a dozen sausages it's not a problem.  And I think I'll have a first aid kit on hand the first attempt.
So have you tried st ... |
