I have neighbors (back and windward side) that are cultivating large swatches of foxtail and allowing oxalis to displace their newly-laid sod.
I spent the day yesterday scourning my brick patio clear of these two annoyances with my utilitarian Craftman electric whacker. Talk about hardy and adaptable...
These two weeds have established root systems throughout the paper-thin cracks of my brick laceworks. I salted the bricks two years ago in a successful bid to get rid of the start thistle, whitestem fillaree, and burrclover.
The foxtail and oxalis were not healthy so the brine might still be there. It made for more annoyance than anything else but I don't wish to give them a chance at establishing a hold in this area of my yard.
Ideas for nuking the root systems of both without dowsing the entire area in an herbacide?
Many thanks.
