[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1984788, member: 81934"] The parsley plants survived , and the tomatoes too , even getting some small roma tomatoes developing . tomato & parsley pot 1 [img]https://i.postimg.cc/Wp0DMP2t/screenshot-689.png[/img] tomato & parsley pot 2 [img]https://i.postimg.cc/KcQbX9fJ/screenshot-690.png[/img] The ground covers ( sandfire plants ) are growing great in the L shaped bed and the native shrubs are looking good. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/fWdHmktX/screenshot-691.png[/img] [img]https://i.postimg.cc/1zg0SYD6/screenshot-692.png[/img] Thrubs in the 6m x 1.5m natives feature bed are doing well. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/vTpFPK7z/screenshot-693.png[/img] My three 3m x 1.5m raised beds have been taken over by couch grass , trying some vinegar & cloves based herbicide sprayon NATURES WAY YATES 1L ORGANIC WEEDSPRAY stuff ( see if this will kill off the couch grass ) , been 2 weeks and it still looks very green ( been lots of rain ) . Bought two bottles of the stuff - great on other weeds ( killed them overnight ) but the cooch grass not a lot of brown dead grass created . [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.yates.com.au/product/weed-control/organic-and-natural-weed-control/yates-natures-way-organic-weed-spray/[/URL] Active ingredients 40.4g/L Acetic Acid 40.4g/L Clove Oil doesn't contain Glyphosate Lower small bed : some of couch is browning off , this bed not as over grown with couch grass as other two. [img]https://i.postimg.cc/N0DT8ksL/screenshot-685.png[/img] Middle and top small beds : some browning off of couch grass but really overgrown ( been fallow for nearly 18 months since we filled it with soil and mulched with sugarcane mulch ). [img]https://i.postimg.cc/nzkxTTMj/screenshot-687.png[/img] Top small bed : [img]https://i.postimg.cc/t4ntQM36/screenshot-694.png[/img] Think it's a FAIL. I don't want to use anything containing glyphosate as we'll be growing herbs and veg and berry plants in these beds. Gardening Lady has suggested SLASHER [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ecoorganicgarden.com.au/products/weedkiller/slasher/[/URL] Active ingradient 525g/L Nonanoic Acid Nonanoic acid is also known as pelargonic acid and is derived from plant oils. She says it works against a treat against couch grass and leaves no residue in the soil. Might try it before smothering the beds with black plastic sheets to deny the grass light and to kill off the couch grass. If Slasher doesn't work , then looks like we'll be placing a HD black plastic sheet over these beds to kill off the couch grass over winter ( I don't fancy removing live couch by hand ). , then when the couch grass in the beds is all dead will remove roots and remulch in prep for NEXT spring. Lucerne keeps sprouting in the berry pots .... I'll never us lucerne mulch again .... [/QUOTE]
