The first priority of weed management is preventing the introduction of weeds. This requires vigilance on behalf of the gardener. Mechanical weed removal is the first and cleanest option. Always prevent existing weeds from seeding. Investigate smothering crops that can be planted to out-compete weeds. Weeds love bare or disturbed soil. Best to mulch such areas or plant out green manure. If chemical control is the only option, proceed with care and follow instructions. Chose the least toxic herbicide. Investigate biological options. Disposing of Weeds is a serious business. Don't just dump garden waste over the fence. The waste may contain seeds, suckers or bulbs which may re-grow. Place the material in a black plastic bag, seal the bag and bake in the sun for a few days. Some seeds need to be destroyed by burning them. Australian.

Examensarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Politik - Politische Systeme - Politisches System Deutschlands, Note: 2,0, Eberhard-Karls-Universitat Tubingen (Institut fur Politikwissenschaft), 81 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nach monatelangen Verhandlungen unterzeichneten der Parteivorsitzende der NPD, Udo Voigt, und sein Pendant von der DVU, Gerhard Frey, am 15. Januar 2005 den Vertrag uber den Deutschland-Pakt." Dass der Pakt von den beiden Parteivorsitzenden auch als Ende des Bruderkampfes" beschrieben wird, zeigt, dass es in den vorangegangenen Jahren keine Harmonie im rechtsextremen Parteienlager gab. Nachdem die DVU nach ihrer Grundung als Partei zunachst mit der NPD kooperierte, entstand in den Neunzigerjahren eine zum Teil erbitterte Konkurrenzsituation. DVU-Chef Frey beschrieb das Verhaltnis zwischen beiden Parteien zu jener Zeit als Todfeindschaft." Der NPD-Vorsitzende Udo Voigt wiederum rief seine Parteifreunde noch im Herbst 2003 dazu auf, dem DVU-Vorsitzenden die heuchlerische Maske vom Gesicht" zu ziehen. Nur wenige Monate spater wurde der jahrelange Streit beigelegt und vereinbart, bei den Landtagswahlen in Sachsen und Brandenburg im Jahr 2004 nicht mehr gegeneinander anzutreten. Mit dem Deutschland-Pakt sollten die Zeiten, in denen sich beide Parteien gegenseitig Wahlerstimmen wegnahmen, der Vergangenheit angehoren. Fortan sollte bei Wahlen auf Landes-, Bundes- und Europaebene nur noch eine der beiden Parteien antreten und dabei auch Kandidaten der jeweils verzichtenden Partei aufstellen. Bis einschliesslich 2009 wurde genau festgelegt, wer bei welchen Wahlen kandidiert. In dieser Arbeit werden die beiden am Deutschland-Pakt beteiligten Parteien hinsichtlich ihrer Gemeinsamkeiten und ihrer Unterschiede untersucht, um so einen genauen Vergleich der beiden Akteure des Bundnisses zu ermoglichen. Des Weiteren wird herausgearbeitet, wie sich der Deutschland-Pakt in den Wahlergebnissen von NPD und DVU niederschlagt
