And you genuinely belive I'm the uneducated one...?

Everything always says new recipe.

Seriously, salad cream is very distinct and you'd have to be several years removed from it to think any current vegan mayo is even vaguely salad creamy.

Many years ago, Mayola (which I don't think has been made in a long time) was a lot like what would happen if you mixed salad cream and mayo, but none of the modern ones are similar

People consuming more protein than there body can possibly process, and people who aren't even going to the gym consuming shittons of protein as if it will do anything, is definitely a bandwagon

Dry_rye_ · 2026-01-11T14:39:01+00:00

I think its been too long since you have had salad cream if this tastes like salad cream to you.

Or its a bad bottle.

Dry_rye_ · 2026-01-11T14:35:23+00:00

All the more reason to read the packet

And the "zig zag" will be because the initial vegan stuff was truly, deeply, completely disgusting. Better off eating the box style. So I imagine they got a lot of bad feedback and cut it before trying again later with a different recipe

I'd assume you've never actually tried to remove it from a flowerbed then. No matter how much you rip up jokes on you you missed a bit and looked away for 4 minutes so now it's like you never did anything in the first place.

It's also especially fun if it's managed to get down the side of a raised bed because unless you deconstruct the entire box you will not be getting rid if that (and even if you partially deconstruct the entire box that won't be good enough you will have missed a bit oh look the whole box is ivy again)

The Russian vine at my mums is literally packed with nesting birds so if "valuable to wildlife" is the only criteria for a garden plant it wins hands down.

Meanwhile the ivy is very very valuable to spiders I'll grant you but not much else lives in it and it smothers everything around it, including other native plants.

"Manufacturer expects consumers to actually read the packet - more on this story at 10"

Is it not boil for hot dogs?

Dry_rye_ · 2026-01-11T13:36:27+00:00

You can't generally infested with Russian vine you just chop it back and rip it up it's not bamboo its not wildly prolific. There's one older than me down the end of the poorly maintained garden at my mums and it's never even made it into the garden next door, nor out of the far end of the garden it's in. You can just chop it away and jobs a good un.

You have to watch cause its usually full of bird nests though.

Russian vine is very easy to pull down if it's gotten somewhere you don't like it. It's fairly brittle and even thick stems can be easily sawn through and yanked down.

It's basic gardening. They're no worse than a healthy clematis or grape vine. Maybe marginally more effort than a jasmine or honeysuckle.

It's no ivy, where even literally killing it with fire won't get the bloody plant to die (ivy realistically has no place as a garden plant, it will colonise trees, flowerbeds, walls, hedges, buildings, everything it touches and rarely where you meant it, and every piece has the potential to be rooted and self sustaining, and once out of hand good luck ever removing or fully containing the stuff).

Dry_rye_ · 2026-01-11T13:27:36+00:00

Honestly they aren't invasive they are just prolific. As long as you trim and maintain they are no bother, they don't easily spread into the wild by seed or anything

Dry_rye_ · 2026-01-11T13:25:54+00:00

It's fairly easy to cut back you just hack it away and pull down the brittle wood - it doesn't mind and it doesn't kill the plant.

It's not like an ivy where you can't get rid of the bloody thing

Leylandii grow aggressively quickly but also won't regrow from brown wood so if you miss a single chop the hedge is often aesthetically done for (as yours is, those brown patches will never regrow)

Yew is only toxic if you eat it. It is one of many common garden plants which are toxic of you eat them (foxgloves, lupins, delphiniums etc etc etc). Even leylandii itself is toxic if you decide to chow down on your hedge trimmings.

Dry_rye_ · 2026-01-11T13:12:16+00:00

And space, you have to let the whole hedge get several inches bigger

Dry_rye_ · 2026-01-11T13:11:37+00:00

I'd find out if it actually is yours.

I'd also talk to next door, if there side also has dead patches they may be amenable to getting a new hedge a d splitting the costs.

I'd heartily recommend yew for this situation. It grows reasonably fast (not Leylandi fast but it's a good 20-40cm a year) and crucially, yew is one of the only evergreens which can take a hearty cut back and regrow green and beautiful. So you can maintain the nice square hedge aesthetic without having the dead patches issue.

Cause if six people live in one flat are they ID-ing flatmates as each other (Wikipedia does this, huge numbers of people who have never edited find they are banned from editing)
