we have similar weeds here in SF Bay Area, in the event that I recollect

Going to attack it with spray pre-emergent next year and just ordered
Weed Impede from this outfit:

None of the stores carry any liquid pre-emergent around here.

Shopped Amazon but they charge shipping or try to tie you into getting
Prime account. Above offers free shipping on everything.

As I pointed out in thread, infected banks are in back of house, down
hill and basically unseen by us and neighbors. I don't know how this
weed sneaked in but noted this time of year that Japanese stilt grass
is all over the place along unattended road sides.


Amazon automatically includes free shipping on orders over $25. It seems
that every time I make an order it climbs over that level pretty quickly
(even though I do have Prime).


I buy from Amazon and can order with a click but do not have Prime as I
don't buy that much and am not interested in their book and TV
offerings. I could have gotten free shipping had I signed up for what
looks like a Prime trial. A couple of years ago, during Christmas
season, I did take the trial which when over would charge my credit card
for Prime if I did not cancel it. Took a lot of work to cancel as they
appear to obfuscated not to make cancelling easy. Will not put up with
that again.

Other retailers are getting competitive with Amazon and offering free
shipping for the same cost item.
