Cactus and Weeds
Hi,
We recently put some cactus in a rock landscaped yard and they are doing quite well. The problem is that there are weeds coming up and I am not sure if there is some type of weed control that won't disturb the cactus. Possible something organic? Thank you, Beverly |

Thank you, Beverly My personal method is to pull out the weeds by hand after a soaking rain. My second choice is to use a hoe. You could make a shroud from an empty plastic gallon jug, surround the weed, and spray it with RoundUp. |

I have also used my weed twister to pull out weeds lodged between
thorny cacti and other plants. The weed twister from Ergonica has a coil width of about 2 inches. This allows for more precise weeding than with other tools such as hoes with wider blades. There are also a few other tools for weeding with precise dimensions. |

Yup. In my experience (Phoenix, 10a) there's nothing for it but pullin
'em up. Eventally they won't come back, but it takes a little patience. |
