Help with some weeding ground elder
"phil" wrote in message m... I've got a patch of gravel with a couple of rose bushses and a mini apple tree. Weeds are growing through the gravel and I'll like to know if there's anything I can treat them with whilst not damaging the roses and apple tree. I think the weed is ground elder http://www.dgsgardening.btinternet.c...ound-elder.htm I have some Wickes Soduim Chlorate but I don't think this is suitable as it's for paths and drives. Can anyone recommend a product that I can use that won't damage the other plants. Thanks Phil Part of my lawn is *infested* with ground elder. I avoid using herbicides/pesticides as much as I can. Basically, I control it by frequent mowing of lawn and on the patch dug out to be a veg plot - for a couple of butternut squash plants, I'll plant those in the soil but once planted the bare earth will be topped with black polyethene. Watering will be done via a 2ltr pop bottle inverted and set into the ground immediately next to a squash plant. In your case, how about removing the gravel - placing a barrier on the ground, such as black polyethene and then placing gravel back on top? |
