    Ooh just saw the oxalis post from yesterday lol.

    I suppose we need an update.

    Aerogard (40% deet) works very well. It’s been a few months and surprisingly it hasn’t bounced back so I think it does maybe hit the bulbs. Didn’t kill any other plants using it. Found it works best when it’s a still, sunny day.

      Sounds promising. Oxalis is seasonal though, it starts dying about now and comes back in autumn. Will need an update in 6 months time. I saw in the Aldi catalogue there’s a weed killer heat gun on sale soon. Am tempted to get it to try as a chemical free alternative.

        I wouldn’t surprised if it bounced back and angrier than before lol.

        Weed burners are good fun! I bought this cheapo one: https://www.totaltools.com.au/welding/soldering-irons/73683-hot-devil-750mm-super-heat-wand-weed-killer-hdwk and it does the trick.

      Does it just kill the oxalis or the surrounding stuff too?
