Move house and don't take any plants with you from the garden.

Hi Mike

MYOB is a bugger to get rid of. In grass you have 2 options

1. It is resistant to selective weed killers. Try raking it out, but be
careful, if you are not it will spread to unaffected areas. Then feed
the grass and allow it to grow longer to out-compete the MYOB!
2. Kill off the patch of lawn adn re sow when MYOB has gone

Anywhere else weed killer like Glyphosate will remove it, however, we
would normally use Glyphosate to clear MYOB prior to planting and then
plant, you will get some sepage!!!

Hope this helps, good luck!

Thanks for that, but it is in amongst the Heathers :-((

ps
Moving isn't an option. We have a nice house now, nice and convenient
location and super neighbours. In order to stay here, we have already
decided not to sell off the back garden for building as we A) Don't wish to
move, B) Cannot find anywhere more convenient and C) don't need the money
from a prospective building plot :-))

It may have to be a get-down-on-your-knees job, and pray - and if that
fails, take a jar of glyphosate and a kiddies' paintbrush to them.

The odd leaf wetted thus should kill it all off eventually, the
elasticity of 'eventually' depending on how thorough you can be.

Soleirolia soleirolli ?
I never realised anyone thought of this plant as a weed (honest). I have a
garden full of this stuff and actively encourage it to grow . It acts as a
living mulch on my fast draining rocky soil.
It appears to be quite well behaved and stays about a few inches high except
in really wet areas where it can be more rampant.
Having said all that I am the chap that actually likes Heracleum
mantegazzianum

You could always try to persuade tham that they're carnivorous, and once
they get going they creep into the house under the doors at night, trail
up the stairs and strangle their victims as they sleep...

One would think that when one wishes to comment on someone, then one would
use a somewhat more 'toned down' language and certainly not advertise one's
business to boot.

Such language is not very becoming to one's prospective customers,
especially when it has already been noted that one's attitude to one's
customers is such that one is only interested in the financial outcome of
one's customer's visits and not interested in a 'chat'.

Picking this stuff out of the path is a task I give my boys (8, 5 and 3) to
do when they want to "help" in the garden, as it keeps them out of mischief
and off the borders. It does cling to and cover rocks quite attractively, so
I tolerate it in one corner. Also, I just found some self-set cyclamen
seedlings amongst S. soleiroli in cracks between some rocks, having failed
utterly to get any seeds to germinate in pots, so it might just have a use
after all.

Thanks for that Duncan. Great idea but, my 'boys', well one boy three girls
are house sitting for us for three months and are just a little bit older
than that, like 45, 43, 41 and 33. I don't think I can see them sitting in
the garden picking 'mind your own business' in the cold and dark :-((

Seriously, I feel that the answer is going to be a chemical one and/or give
up some of the beds and either turf or hard landscape with walls etc.

One of the neighbours membraned the front garden and pea gravelled (vermin's
toilet) it a couple of years ago. At one point during the summer the myob
had covered about 60% and looked almost like a lawn :-((

That's not advertising, it's well within the guidelines.

Oh yes of course. And then you will claim that, having posted your libel of
me, I have validated it. Not on your life, chum. That's in my files and
there it stays for future reference if there's any more damned fool nonsense
out of you with regard to me, our customers or my husband's business. You
have made a very big mistake and I'm holding on to it.
Anyone who wants to know about your bullying career on the Internet need
only go to Google groups and type in 'Mike Crowe' and 'Andy Mabbett'. I
don't know what's wrong with you but you're not getting away with it in this
quarter, I assure you. Now shut up and push off.

According to the RHS it is called Soleirolia if that helps

Like a very fine cress and hugs the ground and gets intwined and smothers
other plants. To pull the weed out, the plants come with it.
