Weeds in seed pots and elsewhere

Nick,
Stop at your local Ag chemical store and buy Arrow or Poast. They only kill
grasses. You need an adjuvant surfactant - usually a 'crop oil' but I think
liquid detergent will work too.

The real thug in my
garden is Japanese stiltgrass (Microstegium). Bulbs don't stand a chance.
It will sprawl over fairly large bushes and smothers any flowerbed that
doesn't get a good thick layer of mulch regularly. Copperheads like to
hide in
it, which makes weeding exciting.

Durham, NC, Zone 7, where despite several frosts in the past few weeks,
Crinum 'Mrs James Hendry' is pushing up another inflorescence. I have
lost
count of how many times it bloomed this year.
