Lachenalia seedlings

It sounds as though Max has a trained militia at work. If his training techniques can be replicated, it may be an option. Is there a gastropod boot camp? What happens when they go AWOL?

Thanks, but that's hardly an acceptable solution!

I enlist gastropods to keep mine in check.

What a year for Lachenalia seedlings! With the wetter than normal
winter last year and rain coming early this fall (autumn) they have
multiplied enormously and have appeared in considerable numbers in
fresh potting soil and even in seedling mix. Worst of all, the
seedlings have appeared to almost choke the nerines. I have to remove
these intruders as soon as spot them but it's not a job I can keep up
with.
Does anyone else have this problem with Lachenalias?
