Fire Weed
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) Harry |

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. Harry "Andrew G" wrote in message ...

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 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) I just compost it at flowering time, before it sets seed.
