Normal weed killers don’t work. Nor do vinegar, bleach or ammonias even when applied full strength. My next idea is to try hydraulic fluid! I would welcome any other solutions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1275789483007056157.post-57593177193228706252017-04-26T13:17:38.138-07:002017-04-26T13:17:38.138-07:00That plant was not all that large, maybe about two...That plant was not all that large, maybe about two feet high. It had, however, been pruned several times. I should've mentioned that pruning or whacking the plant off at the base with a machete doesn't do any good. In a week the plant has already begun growing another stem. The only way to kill the plant is to remove the tap root. Actually, the nopalitos came and went about a month ago. All the pads are quite large now. I think we're in for an early summer. The mesquite have already started making their beans.

Was that a large plant (> 4 feet tall) or smaller ?<br /><br />Maybe combine the slices of that with some spiced up nopalitos, its coming on that time of the year anyway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
