Weed control wasn't really a pressing matter on the SOO during a lot of years during the 70's. 737 and 802 roll 912 east with 102 cars on July 17, 1978. Notice the lumber sticking out on the first loaded flat and some that an enterprising crew member has collected placed behind the grab irons on the rear of 802 no doubt heading home with one of the crew to help with some project(probably an ice shanty:))
A roll of knotted check wire that was used on early corn planters to trigger the dropping of kernels of corn at a precise interval so that the field could be cultivated in multiple directions for weed control. It was stretched and staked at opposite ends of the field for the planter to follow, and had to be moved for each pass across the field
A tractor equipped with a propane tank supplying rear-facing burners moves slowly across a farm field.
I'm not sure what the purpose of this flame treatment is, but most of the references I've found online suggest that it may be a means of weed control without using herbicides.

On August 9, 1997 I ventured into the Murg Valley like on many days that year and in the years to come. Deferred weed control had been apparent in many spots along the line.
So for a steam special I thought this would be a nice location. I needed a good head-on position because of a locomotive-train mismatch. A little hike along the tracks was mandatory and in that way I had the spot for myself.
Running ahead of the special came 218 303 with a regular passenger train to Freudenstadt.
I aimed my heaviest lens on the train, a 4/300 Meyer-Optik/Görlitz, customized for my Mamiya 645super. Depth of field is tight and for a one-shot affair it is crucial to release at the point you've focused on, manually of course.
I didn't use the Meyer too often because of its weight. But it was really good, even not being a Zeiss-Jena, which just looked the same. I was glad to snatch the Meyer in mint condition at a camera swap meet for 600 DM. Add another 300 for customizing.
I took it to Cajon Pass in 1999 but the monstrous iris loosened during the flight and I had some expensive dead weight...
Seen approaching the footbridge at Kempseye, Shrewsbury is Network Rail class 97304 "John Tiley" heading the newly commissioned weed killing train on route from Coton Hill Yard to Margam T.C via The Heart of Wales line
Three new Smart Weed System trains have just commence service on the British railway network and they will have the capability to eliminate potentially dangerous weed infestations with advanced precision. Responsible for supplying the end-to-end rail operations, GB Railfreight will provide rail expertise for this project.
By detecting the weeds using cameras mounted on the trains, only the most appropriate herbicide will be use, thus improving the environmental footprint. The data generated will be uploaded to a cloud database using GPS software, which will enable weed control to be monitored and reported 24/7 from a central point.
This innovative GPS tracking system will also automatically shut off spray nozzles when the train approaches a ‘Non-Treatment Zone’, such as a watercourse or bridge, a move which further enhances the environmental impact by adding a second layer of protection for the operators.

Distant trees just beyond the flooded farm field blanketed in smoke from a local farmer’s selective burning practices...a proven method in Springtime to revitalize the soil as well as for brush and weed control.

All this talk about time made me think I should go snap a picture while I can. I have been planning and scheming on this 400' Native Plant Garden bed for weeks now. The plants arrive on Saturday! This past weekend I moved 1/2 a ton of flagstone. (Thankfully my hamstrings hurt, not my back!!) There are 3 boulders that will go in here too, but I'll leave that to the professionals. The plants I will do myself, and then the flagstone I'll spread around will serve as a pathway/weed control in between. (Along with rock and mulch) This is the best garden I've ever planned. I am beyond excited. I also know my week will spiral out of control, so dog pictures it is!

By feeding the birds we are helping more than the birds, we are helping nature.
Birds eat much more than the food we put out.
They eat many insects and grubs. This provides the ideal organic pest control with little need for toxic insecticides or other harmful chemicals.
They pollinate blossom and flowers when they brush against them in the search for insects, and the ground feeders eat many weed seeds, so provide an attractive weed control.

Català: La campanya que estic fent a la línia de Lleida és una tasca una mica ingrata degut a les poques circulacions que hi ha (almenys quan jo hi vaig...), però la insistència té premi. Aquest matí, sense saber-ho ni esperar-m'ho, ha aparegut l'herbicida nº4 de Sintra tot ruixant la via entre Lleida i Reus. Per suposat, tan especial circulació s'ha merescut una intensa persecució amb fotos a diversos punts, com per exemple aquesta a l'entrada de Vinaixa. Potser veurem la setmana que ve l'herbicida per la zona de Barcelona...?

FLOR: 8-12 mm (corol.la)
ENGLISH
Veronica chamaedrys, the germander speedwell, bird's-eye speedwell, or cat's eyes, is a herbaceous perennial species of flowering plant in the plantain family Plantaginaceae.
Veronica chamaedrys can grow to 50 cm (20 in) tall, but is frequently shorter, with stems that are hairy only along two opposite sides. The leaves are in opposite pairs, triangular and crenate, sessile or with short petioles. The flowers are deep blue with a zygomorphic (bilaterally-symmetrical) four-lobed corolla, 8–12 mm (0.3–0.5 in) wide. The capsules are wider than they are long.
The blossoms of this plant wilt very quickly upon picking, which has given it the ironic name "Männertreu", or "men's faithfulness" in German.
Veronica chamaedrys is a common, hardy turf so-called weed when it invades turf and lawns. It creeps along the ground, spreading by sending down roots at the stem nodes. It is propagated both by seed and stem fragments. Leaves may defoliate in the summer and winter but the stems will grow again next season. Unlike at least five other common speedwell species, such as corn speedwell (Veronica arvensis), the leaves are opposite both on the upper and lower parts of the plant See the Veronica for special weed control considerations.

The Monarch butterfly numbers are in critical decline.
City Council Signs Mayor's Monarch Pledge
Monarch butterfly population has declined by more than 90% in the past two decades. Scientist attributed the decline to the loss of summer breeding habitat in the United States, which is due to weed control measures eliminating milkweed and other nectar producing plants. Citizens can help the Monarch by becoming educated about how and where to grow milkweed.
Fredricksburg,Texas is doing a great job at all their parks with plants that attract butterflies.
