Oxalis

       










Oxalis removal or eradication.

Oxalis is difficult to control, we present a number of options.
The small bulblets that oxalis produces are the problem, they are not easily removed by weeding and therefore the problem persists

  • Weeding.
    Constant and vigilant weeding can greatly reduce the presence of oxalis in the garden. If you do not let the plant flower and continually weed you will eventually reduce the problem.
  • Poison or weed killer.
    Using a weed killer will eventually do the job if you like using weed killers. However it will still take a few years to completely eradicate the problem.
  • Smothering.
    If you can prevent light from getting to the plant by smothering with a thick layer of newspaper covered with mulch the bulblets will eventually die. It can still take a number of years.
  • Organic solution.
    Many people believe in the use of vinegar solutions as weed killers, vinegar will kill foliage, but it will not kill the bulblets under the ground. Repeated applications are needed to eventually 'starve' the oxalis. Soap mixed with the solution will help penetration of wxy surfaces on some plants.
