Weeds in amongst Ajuga ground cover.
Hi Neighbours,
Does anyone know what I can use to kill small green shoots that are growing among the Ajuga ground cover I have under some trees.
We planted the Ajuga instead of bark, as the birds make such a mess when they scatter it, there is a tui feeder on one of the trees, and underneath it all these small green shoots are growing, I suspect from the droppings of the tui's.
I can't do a lot of bending now with arthritis in my spine, have got a kneeler I can use, but getting down on to it and up again is not a pretty sight!!!!! and I would still have to shift it all the time to get to the areas I want to weed. The gardeners here won't weed it, so I would like to be able to spray it, without killing the Ajuga.
I had thought of lawn weed "n" feed, but rung Palmers and they thought it would still kill the Ajuga. So I thought I would post this question in case someone else has had the same problem. Thanks.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
