I didn't think you came off badly with your original comment. People differ greatly and some people can simply take or leave potentially addictive substances. Even alcoholics differ greatly: for some recovery is a daily battle, while for others - like me - drinking is a thing that they no longer do.

So we moved last year from an ordinary suburban garden to something quite a bit bigger, so we're on a pretty steep learning curve. The biggest issue we have is that things like nettles and bindweed are pretty firmly established so it feels like running to stand still at the moment. Nettles just take hard work (and a
