Default Onion Weed big time - Help

Thanks for all your replies and advise.

I have contacted the supplier and they are sending somebody out to have a
look.

I have to say,they really didn't waste any time getting back to me after my
email to them,which I hope is a positive sign.

I have a bit of a stockpile of the Garden Mix that I never used, and the
bloody stuff is even growing in that.

I will post the outcome.

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.

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

I have notified the supplier of the problem,to see what they have to
say,but what is the best way to get rid if it?

I have used roundup ,and ended up killing some other plants as well as
the onion weed

A lot of it is not real easy to get too, as its growing up under other
plants.


TIA

Greg


Same thing happened to me except in Esperance WA it was $100 a ton.
I kept pulling the onion weed out as it grew.
I have been doing it for a year and it seems to have nearly all gone.
You have to keep on top of it or it seeds very quickly, hence another lot
pops up.
good luck
Nancy
