hello folks,

looking for some advice or suggestions....

i'm in los angeles, working on a project with zero
irrigation, and almost no water use front yard
landscape

we sheet mulched a burmuda / rye grass lawn

85% of the weeds are gone

10% are in cracks or are weak and pull out easily

5% are prolific in between and around the base of 15
well established 50 year old cacti

some are very very nasty (thorns)

beaver tail to cholla to barrel

they have ruined 2 pairs of leather gloves already!

what can i do?

i would not want to dig 'em up or remove them

thanks,
camille
