Believe it or not we have plenty of prickly pear cactus in West Virginia.

How do you get rid of it? Digging it out is so much work and weed killers
simply do not work. The U.S. Agriculture people said to sprinkle it with
lime. Ha!! That didn't work either.

I think that no one ever told them that most of the soil where cactus grows
is alkaline. Or am I wrong.

But again, how do you get rid of it?
