Tradescantia fluminensis - Wandering Jew
How can I rid my garden of this weed, I,ve tried pulling it out,
spraying with "round-up" etc, and all that did was kill everything
else, heavy frosts don't affect it, boiling water , haven't tried
Costic Soda, or Battery Acid.
The big trouble is, it grows under tthe valuable plant's
Anyone got a simply easy, no-come-back way of getting rid of it.

try painting neat round up on its leaves with a small art brush. Give it a
few weeks and see what results. It has worked for me quite successfully.

Forgot to add, that normal precautions should be used, moreso when using
neat chemicals. Wash any contaminated skin with COLD water.
