What's the best way to eradicate this horrible stuff?
I keep pulling it up, but it re-appears.
(I used to pull it up and leave it lying on the ground, but now I throw it
in the bin)

Keep pulling the stuff out, and or spray it, before it reaches seed stage.
It produces masses of seeds per plant.
Sorry thats not of much help, but really it's the only solution.
Good luck

Thanks Andrew.

I have quite a lot of it (a couple of acres), and am pulling it out by the
bucketful.
At least they are shallow rooted and easy to pull out.

I thought it was rather pretty, really (it was introduced to my back yard with
a load of sandstone rubble; I'd never seen it before and only found out what
it was when I was having a look through a weed manual).

I just compost it at flowering time, before it sets seed. It's much easier to
pull out than kikuyu!

wait until you move it a few times and it develops a good root.
