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.

me and I tried everything I could think of.....and more!!  LOL

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