Social media reunites 86-year-old woman with her beloved donkeys
A woman who last track of her adoptive donkeys following a devastating house fire is finally set to reunite with her beloved pets. Margaret Adams, 86, moved to Ireland two decades ago and has been based in Killeagh, East Cork. Earlier this year, the British native lost all of her belongings when a fire quickly engulfed her thatched house. Pic: Trace My Donkeys/ Facebook Fortunately, Margaret escaped the blaze while a quick-acting neighbour rescued her dogs, Misty and Lurcher. Following the demise of her home, Margaret returned to the United Kingdom to spend time with her brother, but was adamant to return to her home away from home in Cork. As well as her canine friends, Margaret was also owner to a pair of pet donkeys, Dolly and Daisy, who were rehomed following the fire. Fortunately, Margaret escaped the blaze while a quick-acting neighbour rescued her dogs, Misty and Lurcher. Pic: Go Fund Me Margaret regrettably gave up her donkeys two days after the fire, with her friend appealing on Facebook to reconnect the woman with her pets. An appeal issued on Facebook group Trace My Donkeys, detailed how Margaret thought she would have contact with her donkeys. A friend of Margaret's detailed that Margaret was back in her home of East Cork but couldn't locate Dolly and Daisy, who had been relocated. Earlier this week, Bernie, who appealed for the missing donkeys, shared a beautiful update confirming that Dolly and Daisy had been found 'safe and well in the UK.' Pic: Trace My Donkeys/ Facebook Earlier this week, Bernie, who appealed for the missing donkeys, shared a beautiful update confirming that Dolly and Daisy had been found 'safe and well in the UK.' In a testament to the power of social media, the family who were caring for Dolly and Daisy saw the appeal and made contact thinking they had the donkeys. Bernie confirmed: 'Dolly and Daisy have travelled many, many miles over many, many hours from their home in East Cork to the UK and they will be doing it all again but this time returning to where they belong. 'Margaret will be absolutely over the moon to meet her beautiful donkeys again as will very many other people who knew and loved them dearly.'

Bamboo was taking over my garden & had me fearing for my house – until a cheap buy from The Range got rid of it for good
A FED-UP gardener has revealed how she finally managed to wipe out a monster bamboo infestation using a budget buy from The Range.

But thankfully, green-fingered Brits rallied around to offer tried-and-tested advice and one product kept cropping up as the Gardeners recommended the Roundup Tree Stump and Root Killer, which retails at £18.99 from The powerful weedkiller is specially designed to target tough, woody plants and it seems bamboo doesn't stand a chance. Advertisement Read more on gardening tips One user swore by the stuff, commenting: 'I used this on mine. It took a few months, but it's gone and never came back.' Another backed it up, adding: 'It's brilliant stuff. The Roundup kills it – best time is when it stops growing in October or November.' The product's official description says it's a 'non-selective, translocated weedkiller' that travels throughout the plant and root system. It tackles everything from tree stumps to nettles, ivy and invasive bamboo. Advertisement Most read in Fabulous It's absorbed by leaves or freshly cut surfaces and works both above and below ground. Once it hits the soil, microbes break it down, meaning it's safe to replant in treated areas. 6 Reasons Bamboo May Not Be Ideal for Your British Garden And for gardeners dealing with full-blown One poor user shared: 'I get invaded by my Advertisement "My garden is tiered because of sloping, and the roots even disturbed and knocked off the boards on the bottom tier.' She revealed the stubborn plant caused 'numerous shoots coming up on my lawn', adding: 'It took weeks. I still get the odd shoot popping up and as soon as I see it, I'm on it.'

As one user put it: 'It's the only thing that worked and trust me, I tried everything.' How to prevent bamboo from taking over your garden For those that are still tempted to add bamboo to their garden, there is a way that you can Rather than simply planting a smaller patch, green-fingered influencer Advertisement In a recent Instagram reel, he advised his followers: 'Basically, you dig a trench [and] you put this [the bamboo barrier], leave it sticking out a little bit.' According to the gardening whizz, this will stop any shoots and rhizomes from spreading through the soil. If you already have a bamboo plant in your garden, you can also use the same method by placing the plastic barrier around your existing patch. How to get rid of invasive bamboo IF you have a bamboo that has got out of hand, you may wish to eradicate it completely. Cultural control Non-chemical methods involve digging out clumps of bamboo and restricting the size. This can be difficult with very large plants, or on heavy soil. Use a sharp spade to dig up the entire clump or to remove sections from the edge of the clump that have grown beyond the limits. Sever rhizomes as you go, lifting and removing them with a fork or trowel. Weedkiller control When invasive plants are a threat to biodiversity and gardeners struggle to control them with cultural methods, targeted use of regulated weedkillers may be an option. Garden centres and large retailers selling weedkillers have trained staff who can advise on suitable products for your needs.
