Mulch to Remove O. pes-caprae

The method I used was to cover the ground before they emerged with three
layers of cardboard (old corrugated boxes) then mulched over that. I left
it for the winter and as none of the tops could get through they died
without setting new bulbs.

Hi John, I often use mulch to kill pest weeds, however I have this oxalis
in my garden by mistake & it thrives where I have mulch up to 6" thick..
The only way you could eradicate it with mulch is if you continually lift
the mulch so the oxalis never received any sunlight what so ever... This is
a very difficult task because it will shoot & ramble quickly through the
mulch.. If it sees sun you will loose your battle so be vigilant !!!
You may be better to use a combination of spray & then mulch, but I have
found it very difficult to control & I started with only 1 plant..
