Our next event:

Composted/solarized Singapore Daisy, Peregian Ck.

Thought some might find it of interest.  At Peregian Creek I placed a couple of bag loads of Singapore Daisy on black plastic and then folded the plastic over and pegged it down.  A month later the photo shows the resulting composted/solarized material; completely dried and dead.

    Hi Paul, it’s Oct. 20022, I have been pulling and digging out Singapore daisies on the Gold Coast. Instead of filling a garbage bin of the weed I came across your exercise. I have also been doing quick 3 layered black plastic hot compost for years and will try this weed Thanks. David

      Hi David,
      I’ll pass this on to Paul. Let us know how you go with solarising the Singapore Daisy.
      Best wishes,
      Jude
