How to kill Liverwort ?

Thats what I think it is, last year I painted on a strong solution of caustic soda as nothing else seemed to work.
I am not keen on using that stuff if there are better alternatives.
I seem to get the Liverwort in every corner of the garden and in every flower pot.

Any better ideas.

 

Any chance of some pics Scudo?

 

It looks like this but I can get some actual pic tomorrow.

 

No, that is it. Treat with Armillatox or Jeyes Fluid. They will sort it.

 

That is Liverwort. Be interested to find a solution myself, one that does not kill the plant infested with it that is.
Supposedly watering with tap water rather than rainwater helps prevent it, but it did not work for me.
Those two kill the plants as well.

 

Thanks daitheplant, I will get some (Jeyes) over the weekend.

Palustris I have just taken the plants out of several tubs so going to use it in that and hope all will be washed out over winter for spring time. I may also `risk` some pots with daff bulbs in them which has a covering of liverwort as the daffs have not started to come through yet, I will just paint it on to the Liverwort.

 

You want to kill my favourite plant?

 

My last garden was north facing and it was everywhere as it seems to like shade. You could try moving any pots to a sunnier spot which may help. It's also associated with poor drainage so make sure that soil in pots isn't too compacted and is well draining.

 

Always wondered about the poor drainage bit. My cuttings frame is pure (ish) sharp sand so the drainage is very fast and yet it always develops a thick covering of liverwort as the season progresses. The seed pots are filled with a half and half mix of MPC and grit so they too are well drained and yet lo and behold......
Armillotox and Jeyes fluid both kill seeds.

 

I've always preferred lichen.
