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




Good Luck with that....Dont settle for anything less than complete
removal of onion weed and new soil...
