Had a problem with this for years, but have cracked it from a very old
method, 'watered' with the salty and hot water strained off from the
veg............................ And it works.

Baby's tear drops

A better name for it.
Makes a lovely liner for hanging baskets instead of moss

Chris had a couple of emails over this curse and perhaps you can answer the
question. Is it the salt or the hot water? I can assure you that in our
case, there is very little salt.

Care to comment?

Curious that this should come up now, because I was thinking of
posting on just this topic.

The other day I made up some Root-Out. Now Root-Out is only licensed
for use as a compost accelerator. But on the way to the compost heap I
accidentally managed to get some of the solution onto a large patch of
MYOB, and it has killed it. Great! I shall have to be careless in
other parts of the garden where MYOB is flourishing.

Actually, I see no problem in using it for killing MYOB. As I said, it
is licensed as a compost accelerator, and all I'm doing is
accelerating the conversion of MYOB to compost, but 'in situ', IYSWIM.

A problem for many may be the availability of Root-Out, as I doubt
it's sold in Garden Centres any more (although I've not looked). I
have some old stock. But it's available here as a compost accelerator:
http://www.garden-products.info/rootout.htm

However, the essential component is available. It's ammonium
sulphamate. Note the spelling: sulphamate, not sulphate. Get it on
eBay. http://tinyurl.com/lw6wgp6

The RHS site says Glyphosate works on MYOB. I'm still experimenting on
the patch where I didn't manage to 'spill' Root-Out over all of it, to
see if also works. The Root-Out was quick though; the MYOB was dead in
a few days. https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?pid=348

Hav a nice memory about MYOB. As a small child I used to follow my
grandfather around when he was gardening and it was in his greenhouse so I
said "what's that?" so he said "Mind your own business" and I was upset and
went crying to my grandmother for such harshness who immediately marched
down the garden and said "what have you said to this child?"
She was about to give him a bad time. but when he explained she let him
off..

Which is why I prefer it's alternative name of Baby's Tear drops
