Unfortunately it really is one of the ones I have to spray (the only thing I spray, in fact) as it's got lots of tiny little bulbs which get left behind if you pull the plant out. If I let it go my backyard would get completely out of hand in a couple of years.

I assume it's relatively easy to pull out? <br /><br />My nemesis is oxalis. It's everywhere, flowers non-stop, and is impossible to pull out by hand because its tiny bulbs remain in the ground and simply sprout more oxalis.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-70189072993206140272013-04-16T08:42:25.715-05:002013-04-16T08:42:25.715-05:00I had a weed that was in a particular area of my g...I had a weed that was in a particular area of my garden that drove me to distraction. I don't know what it is, but it was sold to me by a local nursery as "wild geranium". So yes, I actually planted it! Don't ask - I was a young gardener! <br /><br />Anyway, it wasn't a geranium, but it sure was wild. It took over one whole corner of my garden, to the exclusion of any other kind of weed. The more I dug, the more it spread. No flowers or seeds on this one - strictly underground spreading. So last year I completely dug the whole corner out and got rid of everything that was there. I didn't even dare transplant anything that I took out for fear of contaminating another part of the garden. And I'm happy to say that, 23 years later, it's mostly gone. I still find a sprig or two trying to poke it's nasty head out but I'm wise to it's ways and get rid of it before it gets a chance to settle in. <br /><br />I do have to admit that I briefly considered moving instead of trying to deal with it. But my husband said no. <br /><br />Thankfully, I've never seen or heard of bittercress. But you have more than enough for all of us I think!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185255434783858464noreply@blogger.com
