Getting Rid of Stinkwort at Central Agricultural Bureau
At the May 17 meeting Mr T Hardy urged more vigorous steps to exterminate stinkwort noting few actions. Neighbors at McLaren Vale reportedly burned grass to kill the weed and ploughing with a single furrow plough was used. Other speakers proposed grazing with sheep or using the mouldboard to till green weed into soil, while mowing and continual management were seen as paths to eventual eradication.
