sticky weed

hi
anyone out there know of an easy way to get rid of sticky weed/goose grass? spikey stuff that sticks to clothes and takes over your garden!!!!
cheers

 

Wish I did - never seen so much of it before this year - funny how weeds seem to go in seasons!

I just pull the stuff up and make sure I get it all from the root. A mulch helps.

 

just keep pulling it out..before it strangles everything.. The best thing to do is look at it as a very usefull wildflower/herb...you can make tea with it 1oz cleavers to 1 pint of boiling water ..it is excellent for skin disorders..and the leaves and stems used to be used as a poultice for ulcers..you can make a face wash which is excellent for sunburn and freckles!!apply to your face with a sponge..it can also be made into an ointment for scalds and burns..and it was said that it was a remarkable cure for snake and spider bites..they used to eat cleavers with mutton and oatmeal!!you can use the roots to dye things red also...see what a usefull plant it is..as an afterthought i am over run with it this year also..

 

can you compost sticky weed???
