Gardening sesh complete. Green bin full!
I have a sore finger from pressing the aerogard button so much lol. 300g went a long way though so might be cheaper than I thought.
Interesting thing from pulling the oxalis that I sprayed Monday evening is a lot of the bulbs came up with it so that was a surprise. Almost like they were stuck on more but might be imagining things.
Now it's a pizza time.
Not to dampen your fiery spirits, but I'm guessing you know about how oxalis have the secret little bulbils that snap off and stay in the soil after you pull out the main bulb...? and sometimes there can be bulbs up to 20cm below the surface... I used to be so annoyed at how I thought I'd gotten rid of the bulbs only for them all to come back again... but to be fair I wasn't treating them with the angel of death.
I just picked the weeds as best I could. I might not have killed it, there will be bulbs but it's now very very sick. I'll remove the weeds again when they show up.
:( I do. There'd be more than thousands down there heh. Really hoping the mist of ruination get transported but yea, big doubts about that. At least I'm not being bitten by insects running the garden lol.
yay, death to oxalis
I continued cutting back a very over grown bush, pulled some weeds and got rid of a dead pot plant
