Bloody flick weed and Oxalis ![]() You're not wrong, Fu. The local wholesale nursery is infested with those two weeds.

Re: Tough low groundcover recommendation needed 15Mar 08, 2010 10:20 pm Avoid composted mulches. The goodness has already gone and you end up applying a mulch that holds a heap of water close to the surface, a no no in mulch world. Mulch is so much more than just holding water in the soil for longer. It is also the very best source of fertiliser in a far more available and eco friendly way. It is also what helps create new soil. Something we must learn how to do ![]() Re: Tough low groundcover recommendation needed 16Mar 09, 2010 7:31 pm ![]() Why was he buying it?

I just found the pic is really vague. I also looked up My ~ Po~ in google b4 , also in nursery. However, the foliage in ur pic seems much larger and thicker than those I see in nursery-- which are a bit "needle" like I'm plannint to do the same, cos I really don't want to mow the strip and the weed is so "powerful" here! Are u using the white form / pink form? I always need to pull out the Kikuyu in the garden bed at the backyard. Thanks!
