lol i'm so terrible at desserts but now you have me thinking.

lol just reading on the other place gardeningaustralia someone battling oxalis.

I'm not telling them my instruments of DOOOOOM!

Funnily enough the biggest sustainable doom instrument is just mulch heh.

e: that's not to say I'm not struggling too, running around the place w/ insecticide is weird.

It actually worked well lol. Idea was to do the sausage roll in the oven normally, then give it a once over with the torch.

This thing has honestly been more useful on food than weeds heh.

Season 1, ep 03 of 'please put the weed burner thing down'.

A sausage roll with little chillies and sriracha

2/10

I'm with Peeler we're done for.

You'll have to get in line I'm afraid.

:)

Ordered 3, got 4.

Fave spot too was free.

No! the beatings will continue! :(

Exhibit A. Healthy untreated oxalis:

And B. Exposure to aerogard after 15hrs:

Note how the horizontal banksia gave no fucks even though there was a bit of drift.

Conclusion: I think I'm going to be buying more aerogard. Problem is it's not really the cheapest stuff.

I vote that everyone gets a potato cake today at some point.

And no this isn't a democracy.

The weed burner thing does the cooking now.

In the next episode of 'that's a bad idea for a weed burner' we have:

can you actually kill it?

Tbh probably not lol :(

The weed burner for me (this one at least) is sort of half way between pointless and maybe effective-ish sometimes. Safety wise no issues yet but I'd be hesitant using it in summer in the garden. Paths maybe but not on mulch.

Love that second piccy. Looks amazing.

Lonny sea wall doing its thing:

There was a poor doggo that a couple was walking on the foreshore just as that wave hit and the little thing wasn't very impressed.

Instruments of oxalis DOOOOM

Probably shouldn't have had the aerogard so close the weed burn thing lol.

putting together my new compost bin

I hope it's not one of those flat packed rolly ones.

I lost about a quarter of my hair figuring out those. I've done 2, I will not be doing 3 lol. They do work well though.

Just want to thank everyone again for the support w/ all this stuff. Means a lot.

Today's activity is spraying oxalis w/ aerogard, glyphosate (hate that shit) and burning with the weed burner thing. in a few weeks getting a large unsafe branch lopped so will have the mulch to double down.

I was told I won't win but with a 'fuck everyting if you're oxalis' mentality I have a chance.

I'm surprised the aerogard works so quickly. Literally within the hour it ded. Just hope it's transported to the bulbs. The ones I did a few months ago haven't bounced so.. with any luck...

Yea only thing bro has done is drop off some shit to eat once that she couldn't eat lol. Didn't even see her in hospital. Granted they just had a bubs for the recent hospital stay but ol' girl has been in and out for over a year so it's not really an excuse in my mind. When they were over a few weeks ago when ol' girl just got out, I was explaining the gravity of things and they just didn't give a shit which annoyed me.

The eating thing is doing my head in. For over a year now for her it's supposed to be 6 small things a day and I'm struggling to get just 1 in. Now with the bowel resection and her not eating for that long in recovery and the refusal I just can't get enough volume of food in. When she was in good shape and sound mind she'd refuse ol' boy's bbqs anyway.. lol.

I guess I just feel everything I've been trying to do (basically keep her at home and not in a home) has just fallen apart.

Ended up going to stay a day or two more down here as I probs hit a mental limit with care before I get things going again. Finally caught up with me I think.

Big fight with the ol' boy last night and I can see he's reaching his too. It's all been sorted out today everyone just needs a breather and that's healthy.

In unrelated news I took a weed burner to dim sims with little chillies on top on a bbq which was not something on my bucket list but here we are.

Excuse the magpie poo on the left that's not my fault.

We also need a rave choon
