Ok, it’s now week 2 and I have finally decided on what I am going to use to get rid of my Oxalis weeds! It took me some time, because I wanted to use an organic herbicide.
In the past, I have used chemical based herbicides, simply from habit, but in the last few years, I am really getting more and more convinced of the organic way.
I have tried many organic products: pesticides, fertilizers and herbicides, and have been very pleased with the outcome. Organic products have gotten better and better, and there is no reason not to use them.
For this problem, I am going to use BurnOut, a product sold by Plant Natural. The problem, it is NON-selective, so it will kill some of my grass around the weeds too, but since I plan to overseed, when I am done, I am not terribly concerned about a little overlap onto the grass.
Because I live in a cool area, I will spray around noon to 2 pm, the warmest part of the day here, to help the weed killer along.
I’ll have pictures next week to show my progress!
See you next week!
The other thing you might try is to mow your grass on a higher setting, so the grass essentially shades out the oxalis. I can’t tell from the picture, but your grass looks like you keep it fairly short.
Hi super mower man!
Yes, I did try that in the past, but it hasn’t helped. Thank you so much for your feedback, always feel free to comment, I learn so much from others!
