The oxalis is a biting little thing that brightens up a salad - especially if you're Irish. The purslane is good raw or cooked. When cooked it acts like okra and adds that gooey texture. Search for purslane recipe and you'll find hundreds of ways to eat this one. Jim [and have your soil tested and balance the nutrients and you'll probably get rid of both as they like 'poor' soil] You can also treat your lawn with corn meal - it inhibits broadleaf germination. But I agree with Jim. We're omnivores - if you want to get rid of something, eat it. Or smoke it. The police will come and pull it all up. You know that pigeon problem we have in cities all over?
