Annoying Agapantha

Help me please!

The previous owner of my house seemed to love Agapantha's, onion weed and fishbone fern, I've gotten rid of the latter two (well mostly) but the former is everywhere, despite a year at war with it.

It's holding it's last stand along the garden path where it's bought up the cement edging. Agapantha's are beautiful but I don't want them growing everywhere.

I'm looking for natural remedies for getting rid of Agapantha as I'm wary using pesticides so close to my Rose Beds. I've pulled up tubers until I'm blue in the face.

Someone please tell me that something like garlic and chilli infused vinegar will kill it and taste great on my salads at the same time!!!

Any ideas???

Cheers

Desi.

Reckon its a fork and elbow grease:-) Why not put it on the "garden exchange", maybe someone will want them and if they live near you they may come and dig them up themselves:-)

Try pouring boiling water over them.

I am sorry I can't answer your question, but I would love to hear how you got rid of the onion weed?
