You haven't seen anything Aaron: for instance the infestation further north towards Valour park is approx 100m x 50m Cleavers. We pulled large piles but it seems rather hopeless.

How should this stuff be killed Waltraud? Just pulled out by the root? MASSIVE job...! There is tons of it back there now in this same spot.

Aaron i don't know what the best way is to control cleavers. Sso far we removed by hand but as you noted it would be a huge job. Rreports suggest to spray with Starane however Starane is very expensive; also I haven't checked the label ie whether Starane can be used to control cleavers in the ACT.

The other problem with it is that it seeds freely. On my suburban block with a tiny infestation, no sooner had we got rid of it than it came up again.
