Clover like weed with yellow flowers
Over the past year or two I;ve noticed and increase in a weed that has small clover like leaves, dark brown/green with tiny yellow flowers. It seems to get everywhere and has a very fragile but evasive weed system so getting it all out is very difficult. Have tried tumbledown, weed wand and straightforward weeding but it seems to keep coming back. Anyone know what it is and what is the best form of attack ? Cheers -- Mike Cox |

At a guess, it's Yellow Oxalis (Oxalis corniculata). The bane of my life!!! Whatever you do, try to stop it in flower. That is when it is most noticeable. But the seed pods seem capable of ejecting seed over considerable distances and once it is in the lawn it is almost impossible to eradicate. The thing that bugs me most, is that the weed is actually offered for sale in garden centres!!! Urrrrgh. I still try to hand weed whenever I see it. But, yes, you do need to get all of that fragile root out. -- ned |

Sounds like Pearl wort to me.
Don't know what is left on the shelf in the line of weedkillers, Clovertox would have been the thing in the old days -- David Hill Abacus nurseries www.abacus-nurseries.co.uk |
