Default Onion Weed big time - Help

Greg William wrote:
Hi,

I did some landscaping last year and put in about 10 Ton of "PREMIUM"
garden mix (at about $50.00 per ton)

I got this from a very reputable supplier,thinking it would be "weed" free.


Please post the supplier to save other people this problem.


Every where I have put this "soil", heaps of onion weed has come up and is
thriving!

Well, Gerry on Gardening Australia said all you needed to do was to put
a few drops of car oil down the centre of the plant, but I must be using
the wrong grade oil or something because they seem to still be thriving
months later. plueeeee

I've never had glychophospate achive much on them as the *******s just
keep growing.

My next trick is just to soak the onion weed patches with used car oil
and turn my front lawn into a large chess/draughts board {:-).
