with this years wet season on our mostly heavy ground the only thing that has been growing very well is the red-shank weed
at first i thought the wet weather had even made that impossible to germinate no such luck up it came when the weather started to get a bit better like mustard and cress with prolific seed heads to scatter seed onto the ground for next year
this weed i have to say has got me completely snookered i know there are those on this site that are anti- spray but it looks like that mite be the only solution to rid me of this pesky weed
i did notice where i had sprayed some ground 2years ago there seemed to be no emergence of the red shank but i can't remember what i sprayed it with
i assume red shank lies dormant in the ground until the conditions are rite for it to germinate it seems to appear around June although it was quite a bit later this season
so whats the best solution to rid me of this dreaded weed
