#1: Bindii Success!!!
Posted on 2005-08-22 07:03:01 by supajosh
Thanks to everyone who posted a response to my query back in June, all
very sound and useful advice- some of it not applicable to my work (a 2
acre environmental education centre at Jacob's Well, near the gold
coast) but the hand-pulling, and yes, China's snipping and twisting
have worked a treat at home... at least they have this year, and I'm
confident about next year. P.S. If you remember an American dentist in
Wingham, China, corner of bent street, that's my uncle. my grandparents
are there as well. Another method i found worked an absolute treat was
nicked off gardening australia (16th July, i believe) and involves 1
part iron sulphate, 1 part sulphate of potash and 1 part sand. lay it
on pretty thick on the bindiis, and water it in. the bindiis will burn
off (turn to black sludge, actually) as will a little grass, but the
grass will be back better than ever in no time at all. just remember to
wear gloves coz of the iron sulphate. about 500 grams of each ingredient
will be enough to do a small lawn (it did our heavily-infested volley
ball court). Try it out- I'm sure you'll be happy with the results.
Cheers, Josh.
