lol just reading on the other place gardeningaustralia someone battling oxalis.

I'm not telling them my instruments of DOOOOOM!

Funnily enough the biggest sustainable doom instrument is just mulch heh.

e: that's not to say I'm not struggling too, running around the place w/ insecticide is weird.

sad weed burner noises

Don’t have a flamethrower but I’m pinching your aeroguard idea. Interestingly enough I had used mulch in the past, before I realised how big a problem it was (the oxalis that is). That didn’t work, but the birds were happy scratching it everywhere
