Brits urged to act immediately if they find one common sticky weed in flower bed
Brits are being told to act immediately after a common weed is set to overtake the garden spaces during the summer time, and you just need a towel and your bare hands. Heatwave conditions will make weeds grow rapidly, and Brits have been told to act quickly when spotting a common weed that spreads right under our noses. Weeds can be an annoying problem to deal with, especially during the summer months when the temperatures can get quite unbearable forcing them to grow uncontrollably. As explained by gardening expert Harry Bodell at it's important to know what to look for and how to differentiate a weed from a garden plant. And this specific weed is quite the menace. It contains Velcro-like stems which can stick to clothing and other plants. What's worse is this is exactly how it spreads at an exponential rate. What is Goose-grass? Goosegrass, also known as sticky weed or cleavers, are tall and messy-looking, and can quickly take over a flower bed. in the first instance. They stick to other plants and even your clothes if you come into contact with them, making the stems difficult to remove. The easiest way to spot them is by looking for their whitish and flat stems. They usually appear when the grass gets mowed too short and the soil is poorly drained. That said, proper care of the lawn will avoid these sorts of problems. How best to remove Goose-grass The site explained: 'To remove Goose-grass from your lawn or other areas, pull it out of the ground by hand or remove it using a small trowel when the soil is damp, such as after rainfall. Be sure to remove the roots as well as the leaves and stems to prevent the weed from growing again.' Like many other types of weed, there's no need to use weed killers or other harmful chemicals - simply pulling them out effectively should do the job well. But, gardening experts and amateurs must look through the weeds and remove the roots accordingly to prevent them from growing back. Otherwise, you'll see yourself repeating the same task over and over again, and potentially losing sight of where this pesky weed is spreading. The RHS says Goosegrass does have some benefits as it's a great way to attract wildlife and increase the biodiversity in your garden spaces. Nonetheless, it's good to take control on the spread of cleavers around seedlings and young plants. Still, by fixing this as soon as it's spotted, gardeners can rest assured that their outdoor spaces will be as green and mess-free as possible. It doesn't take a lot of expertise or unnecessary financial expenses, but just some time and patience.

Tesco is selling a £6.99 buy that'll get rid of pesky flies in seconds, and it's completely chemical-free too
Plus, why do flies come out in summer? BUZZ OFF Tesco is selling a £6.99 buy that'll get rid of pesky flies in seconds, and it's completely chemical-free too WHEN you spend long summer days in the garden, keeping pesky flies and mosquitos at bay is a top priority. Fortunately, there are many great repellent options available if you're tired of the constant buzzing by your ears. 3 Closeup of a housefly with its reflection in a glass window Credit: Getty 3 One woman documented how the plant instantly trapped a fly Credit: tiktok/@hannahtuite2 3 Fellow shoppers can snap up this plant for as little as £6.99 from Tesco Credit: tiktok/@hannahtuite2 However, for pest control that also makes your outdoor space look better, it's worth considering adding a special plant that will kill the unwelcome visitors. Most of us have heard that adding basil or rosemary to the greenery works wonders. But turns out, there's another plant worth snapping up from your local Tesco - the Venus Fly Trap. The ultimate natural pest control is this carnivorous plant that captures pesky insects and spiders in its claw-like, clamshell-shaped leaves. Once the pest has been trapped, the plant snaps them shut, and then "eats" its unsuspecting prey by releasing digestive enzymes. While these plants are certainly fascinating and entertaining to watch, the Venus Fly Trap requires rather specific conditions. For best results, you should plant it outside for full sun - however, if that's not an option, you can keep it on a sunny windowsill with an additional artificial light nearby. The fly-munching trap also likes wet soil, meaning if in a pot, its roots must always be sitting in water. As the plant can't handle hard water that comes from most taps in the UK, it's strongly advised to keep it hydrated with distilled or clean rainwater. If the trap is unable to catch food on its own, green-fingered Brits should keep it fed with insects, blood worms, or fish food. The 2C method which stops flies plaguing your home and ruining your BBQ Keen to see whether this chemical-free solution works? Shoppers can snap up Venus Fly Trap in a Tin from Tesco for just £6.99, order it from Amazon for £13.99 or buy it from their local B&Q on sale for £16.35. One person who was recently amazed by how well the plant worked was Irish lass and TikToker Hannah Tuite - her plant caught a fly just an hour after purchasing it. ''Wasn't expecting this to work, let alone so quick,'' she told fellow social media users in the now-viral video. Why do flies come out in summer? Flies are present all year round, but all of a sudden when summer comes, they are just EVERYWHERE! The main contributing factors are the breeding cycle of flies and the soaring temperatures. Insects are cold blooded and in summer, when their body temperature rises from the external heat, they become more active. The hotter weather also let's them seek out cool moist spots, like inside your home, to escape from the sweltering heat and to lay their eggs. House Fly eggs take around 20 hours to hatch, but when the temperature rises above 37 degrees, can hatch within 8 hours! In extreme hot weather the eggs can mature from larvae to adult fly in as little as four days. The average lifespan of a housefly is 21 days, so each female can lay up to 900 eggs during the summer months! However, if you're on the lookout for a less barbaric option, the stunning lavender works a treat too - and it will leave your garden smelling amazing. Although lavender is one of the most beloved scents for humans, flies can't stand the scent of it. Therefore, if you plant the fragrant flower near the entrance to your home or on the windowsill, it will act as a barrier against flies. Plus, lavender also attracts bees, which will give your garden a wildlife boost. Anyone wanting to try out this simple hack won't have to fork out much, as Aldi is launching a lavender plant for just £3.79. The bargain bloom will be available at stores across the UK from June 12, so flower fans had better set their alarms to be in with the chance of snagging the product.

'Worst shark attack ever' as victims forced to feed corpses to predators
In what was to become one of the most harrowing wartime accounts of all time, seamen aboard the USS Indianapolis were left stranded in shark-infested waters, helpless as their fellow crew members were picked off by circling predators In the summer of 1945, the USS Indianapolis set sail from San Francisco to the small Northern Mariana island of Tinian, carrying with it components for 'Little Boy' - a deadly nuclear weapon that, on August 6 of that year, would be used to bomb the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The blast would be unlike anything the world had seen before, and continues to strike fear into the hearts of all those who learn about it, 80 years on. There was also further horror in store for the USS Indianapolis, with the crew ending up in what is widely regarded to be the worst shark attack ever recorded. After dispatching uranium and other such materials to the Tinian Naval Base, in what had been a top-secret mission for the Portland-class heavy cruiser, the USS Indianapolis continued on its high-speed journey towards the Philippines. It was then that, at 00:15 on July 30, the Japanese submarine I-58 struck, launching two Type 95 torpedoes into the starboard side of the prized US vessel. In a matter of just 12 minutes, the USS Indianapolis - described as being "two football fields in length" - sank beneath the waves, bringing down with her some 300 crewmen. Of the nearly 1,200 men on board the doomed ship, some 900 were left stranded on the surface, with just a few life jackets and life rafts protecting them from the ocean. Unfortunately, there was nothing the helpless men could do as hungry sharks began to circle, in a bloody feeding frenzy that would forever haunt those who managed to survive. The predators, believed to be a mix of oceanic whitetip sharks and potentially tiger sharks, feasted on the bodies of the drowned men before turning their attentions to fresh prey. In an interview with BBC News in 2013, survivor Loel Dean Cox, who was just 19 years old at the time of the nightmare ordeal, spoke of how he and his fellow seamen initially hoped they could "hold out for a couple of days" for help to arrive. Sadly, due to communications errors and other issues, USS Indianapolis was not reported missing after it failed to arrive in Leyte Gulf on July 31, as planned. Nobody on land knew the crew, many of whom were just teenagers, were floating in the open water, huddling together and kicking in a desperate attempt to ward off the sharks' unstoppable jaws. At first, the men attempted to push away the dead bodies in their midst, hoping this would at least temporarily distract the sharks from those still breathing. However, the predators were far too cunning, and there was no escape from their extraordinary senses. Loel remembers some of the beasts as being "15ft long", and recalls how they would pick off around "three or four each night and day". He said, "You were constantly in fear because you'd see 'em all the time. Every few minutes, you'd see their fins - a dozen to two dozen fins in the water. "They would come up and bump you. I was bumped a few times - you never know when they are going to attack you." Another sailor, by the name of Harold Eck, who was 18 years old at the time, opened up about the first harrowing attack he witnessed, sharing: 'The first attack I saw was on a sailor who had drifted away from the group. I heard yelling and screaming and saw him thrashing... then I just saw red, foamy water.' It was noted that the sharks had been picking off those who'd drifted away from the group, and so the men did their best to stick together, According to the World War II Museum, Harlan Twible, then a new graduate of the US Naval Academy, helped organise 'shark watches' to keep larger groups together as they fended off the constant attacks, kicking and beating them away. Anyone who perished was cut away from the group and pushed out into the waters. Those who risked opening a tin of spam to sate their hunger were quickly devoured by the animals, while others were too terrified to eat. In the burning heat, some men gave in to their first, only to be left hallucinating in the shark-infested waters, making themselves even more vulnerable. In his 2014 book, Out Of The Depths, US Marine Corporal Edgar Harrell wrote: "With our minds becoming unhinged, our tongues swollen and our throats squeezing shut, it's easy to understand why some of the survivors began drinking the saltwater. "The boys who fell into this trap soon had violent fits, whooping and hollering and twisting around in the water with flailing arms. Suddenly, as if an explosion had taken place, they would fall into a coma and go limp. Sometimes this would happen in the middle of a ring of sharks." Describing his own terror as the onslaught went on and on, Harrell continued: 'On numerous occasions, I recall seeing a large fin coming straight at me. In horror, I would take what I thought would be my last breath and bend my knees up to my chest. "Sometimes I could feel a fin brush my body. Other times, I would merely feel the wake of the massive beast streaking through the water just underneath me. "These gut-wrenching encounters caused me to feel as though I was constantly tied up in a knot, and my abdominal muscles became completely exhausted, leaving my legs to dangle helplessly in the path of the mighty marauders." After four long days and five nights, the seamen were finally spotted by a passing U.S. naval aircraft, completely by chance. By this point, their numbers had dwindled to just 316. The US government made the decision to delay reporting the incident until August 15, 1945, the same day that news broke of Japan's surrender, putting an end to the dark days of World War II. Decades later, accounts of this ordeal still continue to horrify. In 2016, the story was told for a new generation through the movie USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage, starring Nicolas Cage. In 2017, the wreckage of the USS Indianapolis was finally discovered on the floor of the Pacific Ocean, nearly three-and-a-half miles below the surface, by a team headed by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. At the time, the businessman stated: 'To be able to honour the brave men of the USS Indianapolis and their families through the discovery of a ship that played such a significant role in ending [the war] is truly humbling.'
