Hi, We recently put some cactus in a rock landscaped yard and they are doing quite well. The problem is that there are weeds coming up and I am not sure if there is some type of weed control that won't disturb the cactus. Possible something organic? Thank you, Beverly
My personal method is to pull out the weeds by hand after a soaking rain. My second choice is to use a hoe. You could make a shroud from an empty plastic gallon jug, surround the weed, and spray it with RoundUp.
I have also used my weed twister to pull out weeds lodged between thorny cacti and other plants. The weed twister from Ergonica has a coil width of about 2 inches. This allows for more precise weeding than with other tools such as hoes with wider blades. There are also a few other tools for weeding with precise dimensions.
Yup. In my experience (Phoenix, 10a) there's nothing for it but pullin 'em up. Eventally they won't come back, but it takes a little patience.
