https://canberra.naturemapr.org/users/22862, unfortunately time runs out reg St Johns wort spraying; once they lost petals, Starane isn't effective... I'll see whether I get around to the spear thistles when I spray the last bit of StJW in the cleared area southeast of the upper most seed node, but unfortunately I can't do as much as I used to do. May be next year our mappers can map in advance so we can make decisions where and what to tackle ...
