Can anyone advise on a herbicide to spray under dormant vines available on the market in Italy? Haven't been able to locate any Roundup.

Can anyone provide me with more information on the ubiquitous 'aqua verde'? Giovanni who looks after our vines insists they need to be sprayed with this at least twice a season.

Does anyone have any experience with CO2 mosquito catchers available on the market in Italy?

As far as I know, when building a wall around your property you are able to create a fixed structure up to a certain height but anything above this needs to be removable i.e. chain link fence.

There seems to be a practice developing (maybe it's always been there) among the cheaper car rental companies in Italy to actively search for the tiniest scratches on the bodywork of returned cars and then charge customers once 'a quote for the re

Thanks all for your responses. Really helpfulDoes this type of coating typically result in a shiny varnished look or is it more an acceptable 'wet tile' finish that brings out the colour?Antinello

Thanks Ram that's good to know
Many thanks again Serge. This is useful info.Our main problem is that we haven't developed the right connections locally yet and don't speak enough Italian to negotiate effectively with the Mayor/Anagrafe.I wonder if there are any agents/English speaking lawyers reading this and operating in the Terni area who would be prepared to offer their services to work this to a successful outcome? If so please send me a private message.Thanks allAntinello
SergeThanks for providing such a detailed response on this.In our case we are not entitled to any support from the UK Government/NHS and have no choice but to obtain private health cover in order to obtain residency in Italy. Many insurers in italy provide 'comprehensive' health cover policies, however, our problem is getting our local comune to accept that any of the policies available meet the requirement.It would be useful to hear of any specifc policies offered by insurers that have been accepted for residency application purposes.Antinello
Many thanks Gala and Penny for the links sent. We have referrred our Comune to paragraph F, p.11 in the August 07 circular before. They are arguing that the government guidelines do not make clear exactly what the 'comprehensive' medical policy should cover.Does anyone have any experience of going though this process in the last year? What policy did you present to your comune and which company/insurer did you obtain in from?Any guidance on this would be appreciated.Antinello
To my knowledge potting soil is a balanced medium which should be ideal for potting up most plants. The only benefit I can see to adding soil is that you may get better water retention. In my experience petunias are at their happiest in potting soil alone. You could always throw in a few granules of slow release organic fertilizer every now and then and remember to dead-head them!
