Hi,

I  did some landscaping last year and put in about 10 Ton of "PREMIUM"
garden mix (at about $50.00 per ton)

I got this from a very  reputable supplier,thinking it would be "weed" free.

Every where I have put this "soil", heaps of onion weed has come up and is
thriving!

I have notified the supplier of the problem,to see what they have to say,but
what is the best way to get rid if it?

I have used roundup ,and ended up killing some other plants as well as the
onion weed

A lot of it is not real easy to get too, as its growing  up under other
plants.


TIA

Greg

say,but

if the weed is not too dense try applying a little dab of neat roundup (or
cheaper generic brand) to the stem or leaf of the weed and see how that
works).

I know this is going to sound silly, but one of the books I have says
that a slice of tomato placed directly on top of the onion weed kills
it.

Imagine all the tomato he'd use if he's got as much as he says.
