Weed that has little bulbils

How can I get rid of oxalis from my garden?
Careful application of RoundUp. I would suggest a paint brush.
Reply:1. Simple hand weeding!


2. Any systemic weedkiller ie roundup or other glyphosates, but needs re-application due to the dormant seeds waiting to spring up after your first weedkills.





Oxalis is a really cool plant though I wish I had it growing wild in my garden. It doesn't smother out the other plants and it has a nice little flower. Have you ever tried eating it?


It is ultra mega lemony dude!








I copied this off plants for a future.





Leaves - raw or cooked. A delicious lemony flavour, the leaves make a refreshing, thirst-quenching munch and are also added to salads, soups, sauces etc.





Flowers - raw. A decorative addition to salads.





However you shouldn't eat too many.
Reply:Well, Oxalis germinates from seed in both containers and in field grown situations. It is not difficult to control with preemergence herbicides like isoxaben (Gallery), pendimethalin (Pre-M, Pendulum, others), prodiamine (Barricade, Regalkade, and others), isoxaben + trifluralin (Snapshot). However, once oxalis is allowed to germinate and produce tubers they are almost impossible to remove by hand because the tubers break-off and only the shoots are removed.
