Agapanthus
Hi
Another bloody pest, we have these surrounding our pool (not planted by us)
& we want to get rid of them, I prefer the idea of poison but have been told
it must be done by hand. Any suggestions??
Cheers
Sandra

Yeah poison burn and take them out by hand.
Then poison burn and take out the ones the road crews seem to have planted.

Re: Agapanthus
Landscapers love them and use them in all current jobs. Phone one
listed in the yellow pages in your area and see if they will buy them
from you. I've seen then selling for $15 per bulb.

Sell them.
They sell wholesale for around $7.50-$8.50 per 200mm pot.

If you want to use poison cut all the green growth right back and give
repeated applications of glyophosphate (Roundup , Zero etc) spray. When
they stop shooting dig them up and put them in the normal garbage that
goes off to land fill.
One OP sugested bunker busters, don't, these will only spread the
Agapanthus further, far more efficient is a small tactical
thermo-nuclear device in the 10 to 15 kilotonne range detonated exactly
10.0357 cm above the area (don't do this at night as you may disturb
your neighbours).
For a fully organic method of erradication, and I can vouch for this
(or at least our ex backyard garden can) may I suggest you intoduce a
12 month old female beagle and a five year old male golden retriever
into the area, the unbounded energy released by these two acting
together will ensure the total destruction of any garden into which
they are released. ;-)

Re: Agapanthus
I guess the lure of a few dollars might be tempting, but really the
agapanthus and other garden plants make inappropriate plants for much of
Australia. And they escape to places where they do harm despite our best
efforts If you dont want them in your garden at least don't spread them
any further...
a little more info..
http://www.weedsbluemountains.org.au/news-blue-mts-under-att ack.asp
and check out the second link too.
http://www.weeds.org.au/
and visit our pal goooogle for more....
We can all have terrific gardens without cultivating plants which contribute
to the destruction of native habitats, promoting monocultures, reducing
environments which native animals can use and thrive in etc. Sometimes it's
good to think of the effects of our actions beyond how they gratify us
personally. We have a long future to try to shape and not bugger up in our
beautiful country...
love and peace
