I&#39;m no Luddite but I have spent years trying to erase an invasive plant from my garden (my wife planted it saying it looks nice) eventually this year I tried weed killer so I&#39;ll see this summer if it returns. I do not really want some unknown thing coming to live in my garden that I cannot get rid of. Still, it is a robot, of sorts, so it cannot be all bad.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dubbie</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=8596&AppID=141&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
